Braille signage plate and label: accessibility for all
THEaccessibility holds an important place in the French regulations, especially with the news standards in terms of signage in establishments welcoming public (ERP), which are subject to this obligation. It is a question of implementing the necessary means in order to guarantee people blind et visually impaired a accessibility to informationThis measure involves the establishment of a tactile signage thanks to a transcription of the information in braille in all public places. Text information must be doubled by Braille signage. For visual signage, the indications in relief are recommended, in order to be read by everyone, for example for pictograms.
How does braille work?
Le braille is a tactile writing system with salient points, for the use of blind or visually impaired people. Braille responds to a standardized language (but not universal), each letter of the alphabet (depending on the language used) having a corresponding symbol in a system codified by a matrix of six points arranged in two columns, the characters of which are in relief.
Le braille marking is made by the movie projection de metal balls or plastics that become embedded in the support. (the material of the balls must be in opposition to the material of the support to obtain a thermal contrast when touched). Specific constraints regulate this language (dimension of the marking, thickness of the support, etc.). This technique guarantees you a durability of the marking and a high resistance to vandalism.
