The draft standard prEN 18156 ‘Tactile lettering - Requirements on the presentation and application of Braille and raised characters’ was out for CEN Enquiry until 24 April 2025. ANEC has played a leading role in the development of the standard and supports its adoption.
Tactile lettering means information provided both in Braille and raised characters. The document sets out rules for content, design, arrangement and application. The adoption of this standard would help ensure that blind and partially sighted people can locate, identify, fluently read, and interpret tactile information more effectively.
