I’m honored to present “Practical Tests for Assessing Accessibility” on Monday, October 27 at 15:00 CET during the NL Design Systems Week.

Since 2020, we've been working in Luxembourg on three practical testing methods for accessibility—covering web, mobile, and PDF. In this session, I’ll walk through how these tests work, their key benefits, and how you can use and contribute to this Open Source initiative.

This event is free and takes place online.

Because I just heard it in a conf talk (again):

🚨No, the #EAA is not just WCAG 2.2! 🚨

➡️ The European Accessibility Act (EAA) covers #digital and #physical products and services, such as websites, apps, ATMs, ticket machines and more.

➡️ Rather than referencing WCAG versions directly, the EAA aligns with the European standard #EN301549. Currently, it officially incorporates WCAG 2.1 (Levels A and AA) but is in the process of being updated to WCAG 2.2 in 2025/26.

Vous avez déjà entendu parler de la norme européenne sur l'accessibilité numérique et vous voulez en savoir plus sur le sujet ?

@dnauroy et @AlainVagner vous expliquent tout, dans cette présentation réalisée à l'occasion des Voxxed Days Luxembourg en 2025.

Hello, does anyone know an example of a player that meets correctly the en301549 chapter 7? Displaying captions, spoken subtitles, audiodescription... Thanks! #a11y #accessibility #en301549

Lazyweb question: Does anyone know of an NPS or CSAT tool for product satisfaction that is accessible?

Or, is this yet another thing I have to build myself? ;-)

Voraussichtlich noch im November 2024 erscheint die harmonisierte Norm EN 301 549 der #EU mit der Version 4.1.1. Sie bringt unter anderem eine Aktualisierung auf die Erfolgskriterien der empfohlenen #WCAG 2.2.

Anyone here into #starcontrol ? Fred Ford and Paul Reiche (and others, of course) are building a sequel 🤤 #pistolshrimpgames

They are even stating to implement accessibility features such as full keyboard or controller input and modes for the visually impaired. (Very interested in that topic. I'm studying #waiaria and #en301549 right now)

The big stretch goal is to #opensource the game (after two years)! What? Wow...

What's not to like? 😅

Partnereimtől gyakran megkapom azt a kérdést, hogy miben is tér el az EN 301 549 szabvány a WCAG szabványtól. Ebben az írásomban erre kerestem a választ.

😱 -THE- European standard for digital accessibility (EN 301 549) being is an inaccessible PDF. Can you imagine?

❌ I can’t. So now this 186-page behemoth is becoming an accessible HTML-page.

(Special thanks to my wife for allowing me to spend part of our wedding anniversary on this 😬🥰)

It's a huge undertaking and work in progress, but I think it's worth it. Please contribute and share! 🙏🏿
