| Annotation | Card operated systems, such as pre-payment for gas or electricity, public telephones and so on, continue to be part of our daily lives. In order to ensure that they are easy to use and consistent in design, new standards are being introduced by a working group within the European standards organisation, CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation). Existing standards (EN 1332-1 to EN 1332-4) cover general design principles, card orientation, keypads and coding of user requirements. However, two standards are in preparation and these cover provisions for physical accessibility to card reading terminals, and tactile differentiation of cards. (KJ/RH). |
