What is ISO 55108:2014 ?

ISO 55103:2014 and ISO 55118:2014 are both standardized technical guides developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the aim of providing guidelines for manufacturers, integrators, and users.

ISO 55103:2014 is a professional technical standard that provides guidelines for the design and evaluation of s- independent control devices used in audio, video, and audio-visual systems. The standard covers various aspects of system control, including device control, message formats, data exchange protocols, and compatibility with other standards. It provides detailed guidelines on topics such as command structure, feedback mechanisms, and error handling, ensuring that control devices can effectively communicate with each other.

ISO 55118:2014, on the other hand, is a technical standard specifying requirements and guidelines for the design, installation, and operation of pedestrian accessible tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) in order to assist people with visual impairments or other disabilities in safely navigating the built environment. The standard provides a standardized approach for the implementation of TGSIs, which are the truncated domes or detectable warning surfaces found on sidewalks, ramps, transit platforms, and other public spaces.

ISO 55103:2014 aims to establish a common set of requirements and recommendations for manufacturers, integrators, and users of audio, video, and audio-visual systems, while ISO 55118:2014 focuses on providing a standardized approach for the implementation of TGSIs. Both standards are designed to ensure interoperability and compatibility between different devices and systems, while also facilitating the seamless integration of different components and devices.
