Standards used

For the

Telia Play app

, evaluation was based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (WCAG), an international standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define how to make digital content more accessible to people with various disabilities, covering principles such as perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness.

, the evaluation was carried out against the EN 301 549 V3.2.1 standard, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). This harmonized European standard includes all Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 AA (WCAG) success criteria and more than 60 additional requirements applicable to websites and mobile applications.

Accessibility Conformance Report

The Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is a key document that supports external communication, validates the Accessibility Statement, and promotes transparency about accessibility status and actions. It helps technical teams plan remediation work and provides business teams with a clear overview of accessibility commitments.

For this report, we used the globally recognized Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®), developed by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI). VPAT® is a leading reporting format for documenting the accessibility of information and communications technology (ICT) products. It covers the major ICT accessibility standards: Section 508 (U.S.), EN 301 549 (EU), and WCAG 2.1 (W3C/WAI).

Feedback Mechanism

A feedback mechanism refers to a system that allows users, particularly those with disabilities, to report issues they encounter, share their experiences, or suggest improvements related to the platform's accessibility features. This feedback is then used by designers and developers to enhance the platform's accessibility and address any identified issues.

We've implemented an accessible feedback mechanism on every webpage through a button that is always visible and obtainable anytime. Clicking the button expands a modal with a brief accessibility overview and a direct link to a feedback form in the site's Accessibility Statement.
