Accessibility and usability of the built environment. Technical performance criteria and specifications
What is PD CEN/TR 17621 about?
PD CEN/TR 17621 has been developed to support EN 17210, “Accessibility and usability of the built environment – Functional requirements”. This document provides and exemplifies technical performance criteria and specifications for an accessible and usable built environment, following the Design for All/Universal design principles. PD CEN/TR 17621 specifies what is necessary to align with these principles which will facilitate equitable and safe use for a wide range of users. Alternatively, national standards and regulations can determine the technical performance criteria and specifications to fulfil the functional requirements of EN 17210. NOTE- Design for All and Universal Design share similar inclusive design philosophy. Universal Design means the design of products, environments, programmes and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or specialized design. Universal Design does not exclude assistive devices for particular groups of persons with disabilities where this is needed (UN CRPD).
