Core Value and Scope of Application of the Standard
This standard systematically integrates the human ergonomics principles and barrier-free design requirements for the first time, proposes home environment design specifications for adult disabled people, and provides technical references for the renovation of elderly homes. The standard covers the complete home scene from the foyer to the courtyard, including 42 types of key dimensional parameters and 136 specific technical indicators.
Comparison of key technical elements
Design dimensions People with physical disabilities People with visual disabilities People with hearing disabilities Channel width ≥800mm Maintain mental map - Operation interface Low-level control (800-1200mm) Tactile identification + voice interaction Visual warning system Safety protection Anti-slip floor (friction coefficient ≥0.6) Soft package treatment of external corners Vibration alarm device
Typical space design specifications
5.2 Floor and passages
The wheelchair access path must meet the recommended width of 900mm, and a transition ramp should be set when the threshold height difference exceeds 10mm. The specially designed silicone water retaining strip can take into account the needs of dry and wet separation and barrier-free access.
6.5 Bathroom system
A nursing space of ≥750mm should be reserved on the side of the toilet, and the knee space of the washbasin should meet the requirements of 650mm (height) × 450mm (depth). The mirror installation height is recommended to adopt a 10-15° tilt design to adapt to the perspective of wheelchair users.
Technical requirements for smart homes
Chapter 7.4 of the standard specifies that smart devices should have:
- Multimodal interaction (voice/gesture/touch)
- Dialect recognition accuracy ≥ 90%
- Automatic alarm function in emergency situations
Typical application case: The face recognition function of the smart door lock is used to solve the problem of opening doors for people with upper limb disabilities.
Implementation suggestions and evolution direction
It is recommended to promote the transformation in three stages:
- Emergency transformation: deal with safety hazards such as ground height difference and installation of handrails
- Function improvement: optimize the operation interface and improve spatial streamline
- Intelligent upgrade: deploy environmental perception and remote control system
Technological evolution will focus on variable space design and AI-assisted system. The 2025 version of the standard plans to add virtual reality verification method.
