1. Overview

The earlier lessons in this module covered what EN 301 549 requires. This one covers how you show that a product or service meets it. It also covers how that evidence connects to the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

Three parts of the standard do that work. Annex C is the only normative annex. It gives a test for every requirement. Annex B relates every requirement to the functional performance criteria of clause 4. That is how you explain what a failure means for real users. Clause A.2 gives five tables, A.1 to A.5. They turn the standard into a checklist for one specific ICT under the EAA. Annex ZB shows how the clauses line up with the Directive's Annex I.

Around those sits the Directive's conformity framework. Products need an EU declaration of conformity and CE marking. Services need published information. The last section sets out a working approach to sampling, records and re-testing. The exercise runs a two-round audit in the Reports Hub. It leaves you with a repeatable evidence trail.

Standards covered: EN 301 549 V4.1.1 clause 14, Annex B, Annex C, clause A.2 (Tables A.1 to A.5), Annex E.4.2 and Annex ZB · WCAG 2.2 conformance requirements as imported by clause 9.6 · European Accessibility Act Articles 7, 13, 15, 16 to 18 and 19, with Annexes IV and V.
