Products should be designed with the principle of universal design, ensuring they are usable by people with diverse abilities without the need for separate or specialized modifications.
Product packaging and instructions should be available in multiple accessible formats, such as braille, large print, and digital screen-reader-friendly versions.
Suggestions include easy-to-open packaging, large and easily accessible buttons or touch controls, lightweight materials, and designs that allow for one-handed operation.

Suggestions include mandating compliance for all government, public sector, and private organizations that provide public services.

Accessibility features should not significantly increase product costs, and the government should consider providing subsidies and incentives to manufacturers.
The standards should be reviewed every three years or sooner to incorporate advancements in technology and the evolving needs of persons with disabilities.

A draft accessibility standard for the product sector should ensure that all products follow universal design principles, making them usable by people with diverse abilities, including those with visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. Key requirements include physical accessibility through easy-to-reach and operable controls, visual accessibility via high-contrast displays and clear labeling, auditory accessibility with visual or tactile alternatives to sound, and digital accessibility by complying with WCAG guidelines. Products should also support cognitive accessibility through simple language, clear instructions, and consistent design, while packaging and documentation must include large print, Braille, and accessible digital formats. Safety features should be multi-modal and operable without fine motor skills, and compliance should involve user testing with persons with disabilities along with a certification framework to ensure usability and inclusivity.
