EU Web Accessibility Directive API

Connect a WAD-oriented technical profile to public-sector publishing. The API keeps the selected mapping, coverage, findings, and scan history inspectable while leaving full-site monitoring and legal enforcement outside a single asset result.

Inputs: Public-sector web and supported documents
History: Pinned scans for repeat monitoring
Limit: One scan is not complete WAD monitoring

Make each sampled asset traceable to the monitoring plan.

Project and sample metadata let teams organize repeated technical checks without pretending the API chose a representative sample.

Sample

Name the service and selection

Attach sampling-plan IDs, asset categories, and the organization’s external reference.

Scan

Pin the current technical profile

Retain resolved mappings, source evidence, coverage, and engine versions.

Review

Combine automation with manual work

Use the result as one input to broader monitoring, user testing, and declaration work.

Move one public-sector scan across delivery, monitoring, and evidence systems.

The API record can travel between teams because its technical identity, source mapping, and review boundary remain attached.

Use asset evidence within the monitoring method.

A versioned scan is reproducible technical evidence. The surrounding monitoring design remains an organizational responsibility.

Before EU Web Accessibility Directive becomes a production gate, review its source mapping, supported input, automation boundary, and required human checks.

Read the EU Web Accessibility Directive profile Directive (EU) 2016/2102 ETSI EN 301 549 V3.2.1

Put the EU Web Accessibility Directive API in the path you already own.

Start with one asset flow, pin the profile, and keep evidence and unresolved human work attached to every result.

Automated preflight is not an accessibility certification or legal determination.
