Accessibility information for [Organisation name]

[Organisation name] wants as many people as possible to be able to use [website address]. This page explains where we stand on accessibility and how to reach us if something does not work for you.

About this information

Directive (EU) 2019/882, the European Accessibility Act, asks providers of the services it covers to make information available on how their services meet the applicable accessibility requirements (Article 13(2) and Annex V). The information can be included in the general terms and conditions or an equivalent document. This page is part of that information. It is not legal advice and it does not replace a review by a lawyer.

Our service

[Describe your service in a few plain sentences: what it does and who it is for.]

Where we stand

Our target is for [website address] to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This is a goal. It is not a statement that the site meets that level today.

How we keep it up

[Describe how you check accessibility over time, for example when you test and who fixes problems.]

Tell us about a problem

If you cannot use part of [website address], or you need information in another format, please tell us.

[Add an email address or phone number.]

If you are not happy with our answer

You can contact the authority responsible for checking accessibility rules in the country where you live or where the service is provided.

Dates

This page was prepared on [date].

This is a draft. Check every sentence against what is true for the site, and ask a lawyer if the statement has legal weight in your country. It is not legal advice.

What next?

A statement should match the real state of the site. Check the real state first. This tool looks at one thing at a time. It cannot tell you whether a whole website meets a standard or a law.

How it works

Pick the EU (EAA) version or the general WCAG version. The EU version adds the sections that Article 13(2) and Annex V of Directive (EU) 2019/882 point to: a description of the service and how accessibility is kept up.
Choose where the site stands: a target, partly meets WCAG 2.2 AA with known issues, or not evaluated yet. There is no option for "fully meets", on purpose.
Add how it was checked, the known issues with the WCAG criterion for each, and how people can reach you. Missing parts show up as square-bracket placeholders.
Copy the text as Markdown or HTML, or download it as a file. The HTML download is a complete page; the copied HTML is a fragment for your own template.
For several clients, add one entry each. Entries stay in this browser tab, or in your browser's local storage if you tick the box. Nothing is uploaded.

Questions

Does the European Accessibility Act require an accessibility statement?

Not under that name. Article 13(2) and Annex V require service providers to prepare information on how their services meet the accessibility requirements, and to make it public, for example in the general terms and conditions or an equivalent document. The EU version of this generator is built around that information. The term "accessibility statement" comes from the public sector web accessibility rules.

Why is there no option that says the site fully meets WCAG?

A statement should only say what can be backed up, and a claim of full conformity needs a full manual evaluation. The generator offers three honest positions: a target, a partial result with known issues, or not evaluated yet. You can still write your own wording after you copy the text.

Can I make statements for several clients?

Yes. Add a client for each site and switch between them. You can download one file per client, or all of them in a single Markdown file. Nothing leaves your browser, and nothing is kept unless you tick the box to keep your entries in this browser.

Which WCAG version does it mention?

WCAG 2.2 level AA. W3C says content that meets WCAG 2.2 also meets WCAG 2.1 and 2.0 in the areas they share, so 2.2 AA is a practical target for sites that also have to consider EN 301 549.

Is the text legal advice?

No. It is a draft written in plain English. Read it, change it to match the facts, and ask a lawyer if the statement matters for a legal duty in your country.
