Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services

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 is intended to be used with web
based technologies, non-web technologies and hybrids that use both. It covers both software and hardware as well as
services. It is intended for use by both providers and procurers, but it is expected that it will also be of use to many
others as well.
The relationship between the present document and the essential requirements of Directive 2016/2102 on the
accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies [i.28] is given in Annex A.
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.

SIST EN 301 549 V3.2.1 : 2021

NACIONALNI UVOD

Standard SIST EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (sl), Zahteve za dostopnost izdelkov in storitev IKT, 2021, ima status
slovenskega standarda in je istoveten evropskemu standardu ETSI EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (en),
Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services, 2021.

Ta standard nadomešča SIST EN 301 549 V3.1.1:2020.

NACIONALNI PREDGOVOR

Evropski standard ETSI EN 301 549 V3.2.1:2021 sta pripravila tehnični odbor ETSI/TC Človeški
dejavniki (HF) in skupna delovna skupina (JWG) CEN/CENELEC/ETSI E-dostopnost.

Slovenski standard SIST EN 301 549 V3.2.1:2021 je prevod evropskega standarda ETSI EN 301 549
V3.2.1:2021. V primeru spora glede besedila slovenskega prevoda v tem standardu je odločilen izvirni
evropski standard v angleškem jeziku. Slovensko izdajo standarda je potrdil tehnični odbor SIST/TC
SPN Storitve in protokoli v omrežjih.

Odločitev za privzem tega standarda je v maju 2021 sprejel tehnični odbor SIST/TC SPN Storitve in
protokoli v omrežjih.

ZVEZA Z NACIONALNIMI STANDARDI

S privzemom tega evropskega standarda veljajo za omejeni namen referenčnih standardov vsi
standardi, navedeni v izvirniku, razen tistih, ki so že sprejeti v nacionalno standardizacijo:

SIST ETS 300 381 E1:2003 Telefonija za slušno prizadete ljudi – Telefonske slušalke, induktivno
sklopljene s slušnimi pripomočki

SIST ES 202 975 V2.1.1:2016 Človeški dejavniki (HF) – Zahteve za posredovalne storitve

SIST ETS 300 767 E1:2003 Človeški dejavniki (HF) – Telefonske predplačilne kartice – Identifikator
na otip

SIST EN ISO 9241-11:2018 Ergonomija medsebojnega vpliva človek-sistem – 11. del: Uporaba:
Definicije in pojmi (ISO 9241-11:2018)

SIST EN ISO 9241-110:2007 Ergonomija medsebojnega vpliva človek-sistem – 110. del: Načela
dialoga (ISO 9241-110:2006)

SIST EN ISO 9241-171:2009 Ergonomija medsebojnega vpliva človek-sistem – 171. del: Navodila za
dostopnost programske opreme (ISO 9241-171:2008)

SIST EN 301 549 V2.1.2:2018 Zahteve za dostopnost izdelkov in storitev IKT

SIST ISO 21542:2012 Gradnja stavb – Dostopnost in uporabnost grajenega okolja

OSNOVA ZA IZDAJO STANDARDA

– privzem standarda ETSI EN 301 549 V3.2.1:2021

PREDHODNA IZDAJA

– SIST EN 301 549 V3.1.1:2020, Zahteve za dostopnost pri javnem naročanju izdelkov in storitev
IKT v Evropi

OPOMBE

– Povsod, kjer se v besedilu standarda uporablja izraz “evropski standard”, v SIST EN 301 549
V3.2.1:2021 to pomeni “slovenski standard”.

– Nacionalni uvod in nacionalni predgovor nista sestavni del standarda.
