Accessibility requirements suitable for public procurement of ICT products and services in Europe

The present document specifies the functional accessibility requirements applicable to ICT products and services, together with a description of the test procedures and evaluation methodology for each accessibility requirement in a form that is suitable for use in public procurement within Europe. The present document might be useful for other purposes such as procurement in the private sector.
The present document is intended to be used as the basis for an accessible ICT procurement toolkit. The present document will primarily be useful for public procurers to identify the requirements for their purchases, and also for manufacturers to employ it within their design, build and quality control procedures.
The present document contains the necessary functional requirements and provides a reference document such that if procedures are followed by different actors, the results of testing are similar and the interpretation of those results is clear.
The test descriptions and evaluation methodology included in the present document are elaborated to a level of detail compliant with ISO/IEC 17007:2009 [i.14], so that conformance testing can give conclusive results.
The inherent nature of certain situations makes it impossible to make reliable and definitive statements that accessibility requirements have been met. In those situations therefore, the requirements in the present document are not applicable:
-  when the product is in a failure, repair or maintenance state where the ordinary set of input or output functions are not available;
-  during those parts of start-up, shutdown, and other state transitions that can be completed without user interaction.
NOTE 1: Even in the above situations, it is best practice to apply requirements in the present document wherever it is feasible and safe to do so.
NOTE 2: Compliance issues are covered in normative clause C.1.

Exigences d'accessibilité applicables aux marchés publics pour les produits et services ICT en Europe

Zahteve za dostopnost pri javnem naročanju izdelkov in storitev IKT v Evropi

Ta dokument določa zahteve za funkcijsko dostopnost proizvodov in storitev IKT, vključno z opisom preskusnih postopkov in metodologije ocenjevanja, za vsako zahtevo za dostopnost v obliki, ki bi se lahko uporabila pri javnem naročanju znotraj Evrope. Ta dokument je morda uporaben tudi za druge namene, kot je naročanje v zasebnem sektorju.
Ta dokument je predviden kot podlaga za orodje za dostopno naročanje IKT. Ta dokument bo zlasti uporaben za javne naročnike pri prepoznavanju zahtev svojih nakupov in tudi za proizvajalce za vključevanje v zasnovne postopke, proizvodne postopke in postopke kontrole kakovosti.
Ta dokument vsebuje potrebne funkcijske zahteve in predstavlja referenčni dokument, tako da so rezultati testiranja podobni in je razlaga teh rezultatov jasna, tudi če postopke spremljajo različni akterji.
Opisi testov in metodologija ocenjevanja, ki so vključeni v trenutnem dokumentu, so opredeljeni na nivoju podrobne skladnosti s standardom ISO/IEC 17007:2009 [i.14], zato da preizkušanje skladnosti zagotovi prepričljive rezultate.
Zaradi značilnosti nekaterih situacij ni mogoče podati zanesljivih in dokončnih izjav, da so zahteve za dostopnost izpolnjene. Zato se v takih situacijah zahteve v trenutnem dokumentu ne uporabljajo:
– če je izdelek okvarjen, v popravilu ali se na njem izvaja vzdrževanje, kar pomeni, da običajni nabor vhodnih ali izhodnih funkcij ni na voljo;
– med zagonom sistema, zaustavitvijo sistema in med drugimi prehodnimi stanji, ki se lahko izvedejo brez pomoči uporabnika.
OPOMBA 1: Tudi v že omenjenih primerih je najbolje, da zahteve v trenutnem dokumentu upoštevamo, kadar je to mogoče in varno.
OPOMBA 2: Skladnost je navedena v normativni točki C.1.
