ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the

ISO 19026:2015(E)

Introduction
Regarding public restrooms, products for the facility have been improved and new functions have been
added in toilet compartments which make public restrooms more accessible to users. On the other
hand, types of operating buttons have been diversified and they are placed in random locations. Also,
operating methods have been diversified and the difficulty of discrimination and the use of the buttons
have been raised as an issue. As users use toilet compartments alone in most cases unless s/he needs an
attendant, it is impossible to ask someone the whereabouts of a flushing button and a call button or ask
for help. Especially, persons with visual disabilities have difficulty to find a flushing button and a call
button when the arrangement of these buttons differs with places. This problem is not limited only to
persons with disabilities, but also to older persons. This International Standard aims to solve problems
which older persons and persons with disabilities encounter when they use public restrooms.
