ISO 9241-171 Accessibility Assessment of Smart Home Systems
The ISO/IEC 9241 series, titled "Human Factors in the Design of Interactive Computer Systems," is a set of standards that addresses usability and accessibility. Specifically, ISO 9241-171 focuses on determining the usability and accessibility characteristics for interactive computer systems used by people with disabilities.
In today's smart home environment, where interconnected devices provide enhanced convenience and automation, ensuring these systems are accessible to all users is crucial. The ISO 9241-171 standard provides a framework for assessing how well a system meets the needs of individuals who may have physical or cognitive disabilities. This service ensures that your smart home solutions comply with international standards and meet user expectations.
Our team at Eurolab utilizes this standard to evaluate various aspects of accessibility, including keyboard navigation, voice input, screen reader compatibility, and other factors critical for inclusive design. By conducting thorough assessments based on ISO 9241-171 guidelines, we help you identify potential barriers that may prevent certain users from fully utilizing your smart home devices.
Through our expertise in this area, we can provide valuable insights into improving the overall user experience for people with disabilities. Our approach ensures not only regulatory compliance but also enhances customer satisfaction and brand reputation by demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity.
