Building and housing
Assistive products for home furnishings and barrier-free rooms support independent living.
Ideally, accessibility starts at the building planning stage, but existing houses or apartments can also be converted. The most important barrier-free criteria include compensating for height differences, avoiding danger spots and providing satisfactory orientation. DIN standards have been issued for the equipment. DIN 18040-1 defines the barrier-free construction of public buildings and DIN 18040-2 the barrier-free construction of apartments.
