Abstract: The article describes a case study which has been carried out in order to investigate how older and disabled people can participate in standardization work. The case study proved that user participation in the standardization work was essential and that it was possible to establish a fruitful cooperation between user representatives and professionals. A ready to use model for user influence in standardization work was elaborated.
In the context of the study a user panel test, and group discussions were carried out.
