The CNSE and its Foundation are collaborating in the development of the new standard AENOR for subtitling.

Madrid, July of 2012. AENOR has published the new standard UNE 153010: 2012 for the subtitling of audiovisual content in our country, which replaces the previous UNE 153010: 2003.

Subtitling, together with the incorporation of sign language, are essential measures to ensure the access of the collective of deaf and hearing impaired to audiovisual content.

This standard specifies requirements and recommendations for the presentation of subtitling for the deaf and hearing impaired and discusses various technical aspects of interest (such as the visual, the temporal, the identification of characters, color, delay, contextual information, the music and the songs or subtitling) live with the aim of establishing minimum quality requirements and a reasonable degree of homogeneity in the subtitled said.

The rule, which has been prepared by the Technical Committee AEN/CTN 153 products to support people with disabilities, whose secretariat plays FENIN, has counted with the contribution of experts in accessibility of entities, including the CNSE, National Confederation of deaf people, and its foundation.

Also, its development is taken into account the views and preferences of deaf people themselves and their families as well as the experience of companies and professionals in this field.

Since its inception in 1936, the CNSE has developed a work of claim and policy advocacy to achieve full citizenship of the deaf; as well as the development of programmes of care and provision of services through their federations.

Today the CNSE is composed of 18 associations of deaf people, which in turn maintain affiliated with over 120 provincial and local associations statewide. However, the CNSE serves every need relating to deaf people, whether or not they are affiliated with its associative movement.
