Standardisation
Funka takes part in standardisation work at a national and European level. We are a firm believer in standardisation as a tool for development, besides being a good way of contributing to an exchange of knowledge between industry, academia, public sector and user organisations. Standardisation is one of several key factors necessary to generate momentum regarding a high degree of accessibility.
Some of the standards we have actively contributed to developing:
Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services: EN301549
The EN301549 was originally developed to support procurement, but is now acting as the presumed conformance of the Web Accessibility Directive. It is also one of the standards that will be updated to support the European Accessibility Act. Funka is a member of the ETSI/CEN/CENELEC Joint Working Group eAccessibility (formally a Joint Technical Body, JTB). This group is mandated by the European Commission to update the EN301549.
