The Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) met with the US Access Board Advisory Board in Washington, DC in September, the company said.
The KMA presented the Advisory Board with a two-part presentation. One covered the currently mandated ADA and accessibility requirements which KMA will use as its standard. Second, the KMA presented a proposed Code-of-Practice (CoP) which not only encompasses those but also provides additional standards recommended. The CoP includes newly adopted KMA standards for Voice Command and Voice Recognition which we proposed to the US Access Board for consideration.
A potential goal for the KMA is to have the Access Board adopt the KMA Code of Practice, which means it would need to be finalized by a voluntary consensus standards body using processes that feature openness, balance, due process, appeals process, and consensus. Towards that end the KMA is working with various qualified bodies such as ANSI, ICC, ASTM and others on achieving that.
The KMA ADA Committee consists of Olea Kiosks, KioWare, KioskGroup, Storm Interface, Frank Mayer and Associates, Inc., Vispero, Peerless-AV, MimoMonitors, KIOSK (KIS), Turnkey Kiosks, Dynatouch, AudioEye and Tech For All Consulting.
