EU policy and accessibility requirements - Sweden
Do you work with communication or information, documents, external webs, intranets or apps? Or do you deliver services, development, form, UX, content or other web-based products and services? Whether you are in the public or private sector, you need to understand what the EU directives and subsequent Swedish legislation entail. Choose the self-paced on-demand foundation course and add a live session for in-depth knowledge and discussion.
For whom
This course is intended for anyone - whether in the public or private sector - who manages, orders, specifies, purchases, develops, procuress, publishes, designs, manages projects in, writes or otherwise works with websites, intranets or apps. All roles are affected by more stringent requirements on accessibility.
To get the most out of the course, you should have basic prior knowledge of accessibility, either through our course Introduction to accessibility, or acquired in another way, for example through practical work. However, this is not a requirement for the content of this course.
About the course
The main emphasis is on the three European directives, that is The Procument Directive, The Web Accessibility Directive and the European Accessibility Act and how they have been enacted in Swedish legislation. Additionally,
The course contains the following main elements:
- What interfaces are covered by the directives
- What is required of me as a website owner in terms of declaring accessibility status
- How inspection will take place and how often
- What deadlines apply for what
- In what cases I can claim unreasonable burden
- What requirements are set on alternative formats and documents
- The harmonised EN standard (and WCAG 2.1), new developments
- How to use the EN standard to set requirements and check deliverables
Swedish version
Please note that this course is based on the Swedish legal framework. It is therefore suitable for English speakers who wish to gain knowledge from a Swedish perspective. We also offer international versions of this course.
