What is EN 301 549?

EN 301 549 “Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services” is a European Standard. It defines the requirements that products and services based on information and communication technologies (ICT) should meet to enable their use by persons with disabilities.

EN 301 549 is a harmonised standard, that supports the European Directive 2016/2102 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (the Web Accessibility Directive). Therefore, it can be used to demonstrate compliance with that Directive.  Annex A of EN 301 549 provides information on how to do so.

The standard is planned to be updated to also support the European Directive 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services.
