PD CEN/TS 16118:2012CEN/TS 16118:2012 (E) 5 Introduction Increasing focus has bee
25、n placed on services to help people sustain and improve their capacity to live independently in their accommodation and a range of sheltered housing services has been developed by a myriad of providers across Europe. With so much choice available, it is important to demonstrate that such services de
26、liver consistency, customer satisfaction, and value for money. The work of CEN/TC 385 is to standardize the requirements for delivering sheltered housing services, working with partners across Europe and taking account of national standards and recognised codes of practice. This CEN Technical Specif
27、ication (CEN/TS) intends to provide a guideline for quality assurance in the sheltered housing market. Its application is voluntary. It defines minimum quality standards regarding the services which should be made available by providers. These quality standards serve as guidance for the providers if
28、 they wish to offer sheltered housing.

29、s publicly or privately funded. Its primary purpose is to improve and maintain standards of sheltered housing services and not that of the building design or specification.
