EN 301 549
European standard for ICT accessibility requirements. Incorporates WCAG and extends to software, hardware, documentation, and support services. Referenced by the EAA and EU Web Accessibility Directive.
In plain terms
Europe's official accessibility standard. Meet it and you're presumed to meet the EU's legal requirements.
Why this matters
It's the standard the EAA and EU public-sector rules actually reference. If you sell into the EU, EN 301 549 — not WCAG alone — is the yardstick your product will be measured against.
