1.Equitable Use
The design is useful and marketable to people with diverse abilities.
2. Flexibility in Use
The Design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities.
3. Simple & Intuitive
Use of the design is easy to understand regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level.
4. Perceptible Information
The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user's sensory abilities.
5. Tolerance for Error
The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions.
6. Low Physical Effort
The design can be used efficiently and comfortable and with a minimum of fatigue.
7. Size & Space for Approach & Use
Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use regardless of user's body size, posture, or mobility.
