It also analyzes the implementation regulations, both nationally and internationally, of application in the different phases of Certification and the implementation of accessibility management in building. It is intended to incorporate the Universal Accessibility Certification Criterion, which entails the incorporation of an Accessibility Management System, as an innovative and dynamic concept in the built environment, which ensures the inclusion of All people and especially people With different capacities.ResumenEl concepto de accesibilidad universal en el ámbito de la edificación está plenamente reconocido, sin embargo, en pocas ocasiones, se conoce y se reconoce el valor añadido que supone para una organización, disponer del “Certificado de Accesibilidad Universal” y la implantación de un “Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad”, como documento que garantiza que el entorno construido y los servicios de los usuarios son accesibles para Todos. El objetivo de éste artículo es definir el concepto de “Certificación de Accesibilidad” aplicado a la edificación, conocer los parámetros que intervienen en el proceso, así como el procedimiento aplicado para la “Certificación de la Accesibilidad en el Entorno Construido” y la implantación de un “Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad”. Debe constar que se trata de una herramienta esencial para asegurar que el edificio o entorno edificado o rehabilitado reúne las condiciones requeridas para el uso por todas las personas, de modo seguro y autónomo, incluidas de forma especial las personas con diversidad funcional. Implica fusionar los términos de accesibilidad y diversidad, de manera que los derechos reconocidos para las personas con discapacidad, se cumplen en la realidad, garantizando su uso en igualdad de condiciones y de forma digna por todos los usuarios.

Se pretende incorporar el criterio de Certificación de la Accesibilidad Universal, que conlleva la incorporación de un Sistema de Gestión de la Accesibilidad, como concepto innovador y dinamizador en el entorno construido, que asegura la inclusión de Todas las personas y de forma especial de las personas con capacidades diferentes
