10、26:2015(E)ForewordISO (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
11、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 al
12、l 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 different types of ISO documents should be noted. Th
13、is document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or
14、 all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users

16、informationThe committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 173, Assistive products for persons with disability, Subcommittee SC 7, Accessible design.iv ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 19026:2015ISO 19026:2015(E)IntroductionRegarding public restrooms, products for the facility have been impr
17、oved 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 discrim
18、ination 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 h
19、ave 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 disa
20、bilities encounter when they use public restrooms.
