INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL VOCABULARY (IEV) –

Part 872: Accessibility
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60050-872 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 1:
Terminology.
This first edition comprises terminology formerly published in IEC 63080:2017 (together with a
few entries from Recommendation ITU-T F.791:2018, and one from ISO 9241-11:2018, that
define certain technical terms appearing in definitions), and reviewed by IEC technical
committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment, and IEC technical
committee 1: Terminology, as change request C00075 for inclusion in the International
Electrotechnical Vocabulary.
This publication was developed in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, IEC
Supplement, Annexes SJ and SK, and was approved by the SDB team of IEC technical
committee 1: Terminology, under the SDB content procedure.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60050 series, published under the general title International
Electrotechnical Vocabulary can be found on the IEC website and is available at
www.electropedia.org.
All parts of the IEC 60050 series have the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with
IEC Guide 108.
