This document has been developed to support EN 17210, \u201cAccessibility and usability of the built environment \u2013 Functional requirements\u201d. 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. The document specifies what is necessary to align with these principles which will facilitate equitable and safe use for a wide range of users.<\/p>\n

The technical performance criteria and specifications are applicable across the full spectrum of the built environment and can be used as criteria for awarding public contracts (in support of the Public Procurement Directives).<\/p>\n

These technical performance criteria and specifications are specifically applicable to the design, construction, refurbishment or adaptation, and maintenance of public or public-use environments including external areas.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, national standards and regulations can determine the technical performance criteria and specifications to fulfil the functional requirements of EN 17210.<\/p>\n

\n

NOTE 1 Design for All and Universal Design share a 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).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

NOTE 2 Terms such as “design for all”, “universal design”, “accessible design”, “barrier-free design”, “inclusive design” and “transgenerational design” are often used interchangeably with the same meaning<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
