greater demands are now being placed on the accessibility of products, but despite this, there has been no easil y available data for assessing and evaluating products from an accessibility perspective An effective way to conduct product developm ent is to work on the basis of adequate testing methods for assessing various properties, as accessibility recomm endations can be form ulated more clearly and be given greater em phasis during the development of appliances Accessibility properties must be prioritised alongside functional, technical and production-related properties For this purpose, an inventory of sources with a product-accessibility focus has been drawn up, which has given useful basic inform ation and data for setting recommendations for the design of products This Technical Specification on toasters is a result of this work, and provides information in the form of accessibility facts and an understanding of the interaction of user and appliance This Technical Specification is being issued in the Technical Specification series of publications (according to the I SO/I EC Directives, Part , ) as a “prospective standard for provisional application” in the field of accessibility of household appliances because there is an urgent need for guidance on how standards in this field should be used to m eet an identified need This Technical Specification provides recommendations and measurements for product characteristics of household toasters, which contribute to their accessibility and underlying ergonom ic principles These recom mendations originate from scientific knowledge and the theory of ergonomics, ph ysiology, product design and other relevant disciplines This Technical Specification applies I SO/I EC Guide 71 and I SO/TR 2241 to toasters Data is drawn from I SO/TR 2241 and, if not specified there, from other sources The purpose of designing the number of people who by incorporating product Specification explains the user and evaluating toasters with regard to accessibility is to maxim ize can readil y use the products Accessible products can be designed characteristics that are beneficial for the user This Technical characteristics, which m eet the needs and abilities of an intended However, the characteristics that a product needs for accessibility are dependent on the type of user and task This Technical Specification therefore includes obj ective criteria regarding accessibility for product characteristics of the toaster I EC TS 62835: 201 © I EC 201 –7– E L E C T RI C T O AS T E RS F O R H O U S E H
