This document specifies a range of requirements and recommendations for the elements of construction, building assemblies, components, fittings and products that relate to the design and constructional aspects of usability and accessibility of buildings, i.e. access to buildings, circulation within buildings, egress from buildings during normal conditions, and evacuation in the event of a fire.
This document also applies to the common spaces in multi-unit residential buildings. Recommendations regarding residential units are given in Annex A.
This document also contains provisions with respect to outdoor features directly concerned with access to a building or a group of buildings from a relevant site boundary, or between such a group of buildings within a common site. This document does not deal with elements of the external environment, such as public open spaces, whose function is self-contained and unrelated to the use of a specific building.
This document is applicable to new buildings and new work in existing buildings.
This document introduces the concept of ‘exceptional considerations for existing buildings’ for situations where it is exceptionally difficult to meet the requirements specified and, thus, impossible to provide full accessibility. By means of ‘exceptional considerations for existing buildings’, an acceptable, though restricted, level of accessibility is specified. An exceptional consideration for existing buildings is not to be applied in other situations or invoked in an unjustified manner, or as an excuse for not achieving a higher level of accessibility, where this is economically and/or technically feasible.
The dimensions stated in this document, relevant to the use of wheelchairs, are related to the footprint of commonly used wheelchair sizes and users as specified in ISOÂ 7176-5 and ISO/TRÂ 13570-2, 800Â mm wide and 1Â 300Â mm long.
This document is primarily written for adults with disabilities, but it includes some recommendations on specific accessibility needs of children.

This document presents guidelines for the design and development of cognitively accessible systems, including products and services and built environments.
This document is relevant to mainstream systems as well as those designed specifically for people with disability.
Within the broad field of accessibility, this document is limited to guidance related to cognitive accessibility.
NOTE 1  It acknowledges, however, that diverse sensory perceptions can impact cognitive accessibility.
NOTE 2  While the following guidance in this document can benefit all users, it is included here because failure to follow it could lead to barriers that would prevent some potential users from being able to use the system at all.
This document is relevant to all types of systems. However, some particular recommendations can only be followed for some types of systems:
—     Some of the guidance is relevant to a fixed system (e.g. a non-computerized consumer product or a user manual);
—     Some of the guidance applies to systems containing some level of computer-based processing (e.g. a microwave oven or an ICT-system);
—     Some of the guidance applies to systems that use advanced computer processing that supports individualization (e.g. an application in a smart phone);
—     Some guidance applies to combinations of the above.

IEC 63080:2017(E) contains a list of currently used terminology to describe accessibility and terms that writers of standards need when writing and designing International Standards. It is important to standardize and define a recognized list of the terms already used and in existing ITU Recommendations and Resolutions, along with those in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Without such a list, there could be confusion not only on the part of writers and implementers of standards, but also by the public at large. It is also important to eliminate terminology that is no longer used, offensive, and demeaning to persons with disabilities (PWD) and others.

This document presents guidelines for the design and development of cognitively accessible systems, including products and services and built environments. This document is relevant to mainstream systems as well as those designed specifically for people with disability. Within the broad field of accessibility, this document is limited to guidance related to cognitive accessibility. NOTE 1 It acknowledges, however, that diverse sensory perceptions can impact cognitive accessibility. NOTE 2 While the following guidance in this document can benefit all users, it is included here because failure to follow it could lead to barriers that would prevent some potential users from being able to use the system at all. This document is relevant to all types of systems. However, some particular recommendations can only be followed for some types of systems: — Some of the guidance is relevant to a fixed system (e.g. a non-computerized consumer product or a user manual); — Some of the guidance applies to systems containing some level of computer-based processing (e.g. a microwave oven or an ICT-system); — Some of the guidance applies to systems that use advanced computer processing that supports individualization (e.g. an application in a smart phone); — Some guidance applies to combinations of the above.

This document contains a list of currently used terminology to describe accessibility and terms
that writers of standards need when writing and designing International Standards. It is
important to standardize and define a recognized list of the terms already used and in existing
ITU Recommendations and Resolutions, along with those in the UN Convention on the Rights
of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Without such a list, there could be confusion not only
on the part of writers and implementers of standards, but also by the public at large. It is also
important to eliminate terminology that is no longer used, offensive, and demeaning to
persons with disabilities (PWD) and others.
The terminology in this document is for use in international work when English is used to refer
to telecommunication/ICT accessibility matters. This document is also applicable to everyday
life and all usages, including web design and other writings, as well as ICT,
telecommunications, and broadcasting standardization. The aim is for it to also be
mainstreamed into future policy, regulatory, and academic documents so as to be consistent
with global compatibility and understanding. In the future, work that is yet to be created,
written, or approved could include new terms that are added as appropriate by consensus in a
revision.

Introduction
Based on the Directive 2001/16/EC modified by Directive 2004/50/EC of the European Community and additional activities of a number of EC member states concerning "Obstacle-free Travelling" ERA published a Technical Specification Interoperability for "People with Reduced Mobility (PRM)" which was mandated by the EC. The objective of this TSI is to enhance the accessibility of rail transport to these persons.
The definition of People with Reduced Mobility is in accordance with clause 2.2 of the TSI PRM.
General
-   The definitions and requirements shall describe the utilisation of information by people with reduced mobility especially for people with hearing, visual or communication impairments.
-   This standard defines elements which are universally valid for obstacle free travelling such as lighting, contrast, tactile feedback, transmission of visual and acoustic information. The definitions and requirements of this standard shall be used for infrastructure as well as rolling stock applications.
-   The standard shall define aspects of accessibility (to Infrastructure and Rolling Stock) specifically required by PRM users, it shall not define general requirements and definitions applicable to all users.
-   For preparing the terms and definitions well-defined operating conditions are to be considered. Any damages or operating trouble e.g. failures of parts of the lighting system will not be taken into account.

IEC 63080:2017 contains a list of currently used terminology to describe accessibility and terms that writers of standards need when writing and designing International Standards. It is important to standardize and define a recognized list of the terms already used and in existing ITU Recommendations and Resolutions, along with those in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Without such a list, there could be confusion not only on the part of writers and implementers of standards, but also by the public at large. It is also important to eliminate terminology that is no longer used, offensive, and demeaning to persons with disabilities (PWD) and others.
