Scope and mission
The scope of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 is “Standardization in the field of user-system interfaces in information and communication technology (ICT) environments and support for these interfaces to serve all users, including people having accessibility or other specific needs, with a priority of meeting the JTC 1 requirements for cultural and linguistic adaptability,” [//portailgroupe.afnor.fr/public_espacenormalisation/ISOCEIJTC1SC35/scope.htm:Link “Scope”. Retrieved 2013-09-06. including: * User interface accessibility (requirements, needs, methods, techniques and enablers) * Cultural and linguistic adaptability and accessibility (such as evaluation of cultural and linguistic adaptability of ICT products, harmonized human language equivalents, localization parameters, voice messaging menus, etc.) * User interface objects, actions and attributes * Methods and technologies for controlling and navigating within systems, devices and applications in visual, auditory, tactile and other sensorial modalities (such as by voice, vision, movement, gestures, etc.) * Symbols, functionality and interactions of user interfaces (such as graphical, tactile and auditory icons, graphical symbols and other user interface elements) * Visual, auditory, tactile and other sensorial input and output devices and methods in ICT environments (for devices such as keyboards, displays, mice, etc.) * User interfaces for mobile devices, hand-held devices and remote interactionsStructure
ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 35 is made up of seven active working groups (WGs), each of which carries out specific tasks in standards development within the field of user interfaces, where the focus of each working group is described in the group’s terms of reference.
