STAND4ALL (Standards for All) has the key objectives of developing and implementing training courses for persons with disabilities and to promote the use of CEN/CENELEC Guide 6 within CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Technical Committees - the European for standards development. The acronym STAND4ALL promotes the idea of STANDARDISATION and STANDARDS considering ALL needs, including the universal principle of Design for All. STAND4ALL is about including the needs of people with disabilities, not only in the content of the standards, but also in the standards development process.
The project will encourage the use of CEN/CENELEC Guide 6-‘Guidelines for standards developers to address the needs of older persons and persons with disabilities’. The guide is a tool to give those involved in standards development a broader understanding of these needs and how they should be addressed.
STAND4ALL is composed of partners from five different European countries. Each member of the consortium has the necessary expertise to manage the project, from a standards development process and design for all perspective. The cooperation of all parties ensures proper engagement between the development of training and the implementation within CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Technical Committees.
The impact of STAND4ALL will be an enlarged European network of ‘CEN/CENELEC Guide 6’-experts and accessibility specialists in the field of standardisation so that the essential requirements for elderly people and those with disabilities are taken into account in the field of standardisation.
The STAND4ALL consortium is coordinated by NEN and is an association of the following organizations:
