The Spanish Association for Standardization, UNE, and the ONCE Foundation are holding the virtual workshop Common accessibility criteria for the built environment on 22 March next: Outcomes of the M/420 mandate' on 22 March.
During the seminar, the key points of the new European standardisation documents on accessibility of the built environment will be presented, as well as how they will help users in their day-to-day lives.
The European Standardization Bodies CEN and CENELEC, as part of CEN-CENELEC JTC 11, with the promotion and support of the European Commission, have just published the first European standard on accessibility of the built environment, EN 17210:2021.
Shortly it will be complemented with two European Technical Reports on technical specifications to meet the functional requirements set out in the standard and on its conformity assessment.
The workshop is particularly aimed at those responsible for public procurement, for the drafting of legal regulations, the design of public buildings and spaces, and anyone interested in having more accessible spaces.
The workshop will be held in English. There will be live international sign language interpretation and live subtitles in English.
