Deliverable (1/2) An ETSI Technical Report (development during September 2007 – May/October

2008; project ends in March 2009) that will provide:

1. An inventory of ICT products and services (grouped in technical areas) that are usually bought by public procurers which will cover at least the ICT products addressed in Section 508 and Canadian toolkit. Other ICT products may be added, if identified as bought by public administrations. a forward-looking approach will be taken.

2. A list of existing functional accessibility requirements in Member States and internationally for those ICT products and services within each technical area, particularly those currently in

use in public procurement the requirements will cover the concepts of “Design for All" and “Assistive Technology".

3. In each technical area, gaps will be identified where no accessibility requirements exist suggestions will be provided for developing missing or additional requirements.


10


Deliverable (2/2)

4. A list of existing national, European and international standards and technical specifications (in the sense of Directive 98/34) will be identified which might comply with those requirements. An assessment will be made on whether the above mentioned requirements can be

used as either technical specifications or as criteria for awarding public contracts (in the sense of the Public Procurement Directives).

5. A proposal will be made for a standardization work programme for the development of requirements and award criteria that still do not exist or that are not yet standardized or where the existing

requirements are not considered adequate or suitable as either technical specification or award criteria.

The work program will provide an indication of the types of standardization deliverables best suited to carry out the work described in phase II of the Mandate, other than for II.1 where an EN is required.

Development in close collaboration with the CEN PT Cross-approval of deliverables by all three ESOs
