Recently, ISO announced the release of its newest standard, the ISO 11156, Packaging – Accessible design – General requirements. It provides general guidelines—a scaffolding, if you will—for designing packages that will be easier to use for all end users, but especially for the elderly and folks with disabilities.
The new standard is chiefly for designers and evaluators, but it can also be used by laboratories, manufacturers, educators, and others. ISO 11156 is soundly grounded in ergonomic principles and takes into consideration all aspects of the packaging, including identification, handling, opening, removal of contents, storage, separation, and disposal.
The painstaking manner in which the new standard details each consideration and recommendation actually reflects the thoroughness that goes into each standard developed and published by the ISO. All ISO existing standards, such as the ISO 14001, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001, were developed with the same exacting rigor.
At ISOCampus.com thoroughness is also a cardinal standard. ISOCampus.com offers to corporations, government and semi-government organizations, subject-matter experts, and to ISO consultants and training providers thorough ISO training online; specifically: ISO 9001 training, ISO 14001 training, and ISO 27001 training.
