🌏 World Standards Day 2025
Turning Standards into Confidence
Each year, World Standards Day reminds us how standards shape the world we live in, ensuring inclusivity, accessibility, safety, and trust in the built environment.
In Australia, Braille Tactile Signs play a vital role in that mission.
National Construction Code (NCC 2022)
In Volume 1, Under Section D – Access and Egress, the NCC sets out where Braille Tactile Signs are required, ensuring people who are blind or have low vision can safely and independently navigate public buildings.
Australian Standards (AS 1428.1:2021 & AS 1428.4.2:2018)
The Australian Standards define how those signs must be designed, from tactile character height and Braille translation, to luminance contrast and wayfinding principles that build confidence through consistency.
Beyond Compliance: Braille Tactile Signs Aust.'s Approach
At Braille Tactile Signs Aust., we believe accessibility doesn’t end at installation.
We go beyond compliance by factoring in longevity, ensuring every sign continues to perform and remain legible for years to come.
Braille Tactile Signs Aust. internal standards:
-
UV and chemical resistance
-
Braille integrity under environmental exposure
-
Long-term luminance contrast retention
-
Maintenance planning as part of the wayfinding lifecycle
Because inclusivity and accessibility aren’t just about today’s compliance, it’s about tomorrow’s confidence.
