Question 26/16 congratulates you on your progress. We briefly reviewed the draft deliverables of
FG Smart Grid and noted that they contain references to user interfaces. Bearing in
mind that users
may be persons with various types of disability, we would like you to amend the text so that
implementers of smart grid equipment are reminded that the needs of such users are taken into
account. You may find our accessibility checklist (
