Core Viewpoint - The recent release of the "Standardization Development Plan for the Elderly Industry (2025-2030)" by the China Aging Industry Association highlights the importance of standardization in elderly products, but raises concerns about the practical usability of these products for the elderly [1][2]. Group 1: Importance of Standardization - Standardization is crucial to ensure safety in elderly products, as the absence of unified safety standards can lead to dangerous situations, such as with electric wheelchairs [1]. - There is a risk that some companies may misuse standardization as a marketing tool, labeling ordinary household appliances as "elderly-specific" without meaningful modifications [1][2]. Group 2: Effective Standards - True elderly standards should be based on scientific considerations of physiological functions and detailed observations of living scenarios, as exemplified by Japan's requirement for a minimum color contrast of 30% between floors and walls in nursing homes [2]. - Standards should not only focus on technical parameters but also consider the practical usability for the elderly, such as the complexity of elevator buttons that may deter elderly users from using them independently [2]. Group 3: User Experience and Feedback - The essence of the silver economy is rooted in familial care, which cannot be standardized; thus, establishing a system for "elderly experience officers" could enhance service quality [3]. - Real-life feedback from elderly users is essential for improving standards, as demonstrated by a nursing home in Hangzhou that allows residents to rate caregivers [3]. Group 4: Market Demand and Product Development - The silver economy requires a deeper understanding of elderly needs, suggesting that product development should focus on user-friendly designs rather than merely meeting compliance standards [3]. - The industry should prioritize practical usability over mere adherence to national standards, emphasizing the importance of ensuring that products are genuinely usable by the elderly [3].
