Michele Budris, Jun 22, 2007, posting information from the co-chairs:
The new text being proposed is:
(g) SELF-CONTAINED, CLOSED PRODUCTS WITH NARROW, DELINEATED PERSONAL USE (SUCH AS CALCULATORS, ELECTRONIC DICTIONARIES, AND AUDIO RECORDERS) FOR WHICH AN AGENCY CAN DOCUMENT READILY AVAILABLE SPECIALIZED PRODUCTS IN THE COMMERCIAL MARKETPLACE THAT COLLECTIVELY MEET THE FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE CRITERIA (E.G. HAVE FEATURES SUCH AS SPEECH OUTPUT AVAILABLE ON ONE UNIT, LARGE VISUAL DISPLAY AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER, LARGE KEYS/BUTTONS AVAILABLE ON ANOTHER, ETC.) ARE NOT REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THIS PART AS A WHOLE. AGENCIES MUST HOWEVER PROVIDE SPECIALIZED PRODUCTS WITH APPROPRIATE ACCESS FEATURES AS NECESSARY TO MEET THE NEEDS OF END-USERS WITH DISABILITIES.
- Rationale: To eliminate the application of all functional performance and technical standards to these types of products which results in purchase of one product with multiple unwanted and sometimes conflicting access features.
- Some TEITAC members suggested this might be described as a “product line” approach and could be expanded to clearly include this concept.
- Some subcommittee members also voiced the opinion this new exception is not needed.
