Use EU Web Accessibility Directive through the API.

Send eu-wad-current with the asset and keep this profile’s evidence boundary in the returned result.

Treat monitoring as a cycle, not a one-time score.

Automated preflight supports the technical part of the cycle while public bodies retain responsibility for broader evaluation and follow-up.

  1. Sample

    Choose representative pages and documents

    Record the scope and environment instead of presenting one URL as the whole service.

  2. Preflight

    Run pinned technical profiles

    Keep EN 301 549 mappings, evidence, and coverage attached to every result.

  3. Review

    Complete manual and user-journey checks

    Resolve questions that code and document structure cannot decide.

  4. Publish

    Update the accessibility statement and feedback path

    Carry verified findings and unresolved limitations into the organization’s public process.

  5. Repeat

    Rescan after repairs and releases

    Use baselines to distinguish new, recurring, and resolved findings.

Build a technical evidence pack around the public-sector web asset.

The scan result is one layer in a wider process that also includes statements, monitoring, feedback, and organizational review.

Operational process beyond the scan

Separate the directive, the standard, and the scan.

Three different references answer three different questions and should remain traceable in the result.

Law

Directive (EU) 2016/2102

Defines the public-sector framework and obligations.

Standard

EN 301 549 technical requirements

Supplies the applicable technical mapping for covered ICT.

Scan

AccessPreflight versioned profile

Runs selected supported checks and records coverage and evidence.

Read the source behind this profile.

The EU Web Accessibility Directive source and its legal or standards context can change. AccessPreflight pins the profile version used for a scan; your organization should re-review applicability and the source when requirements change.

Run EU Web Accessibility Directive where content enters the workflow.

Keep the profile, coverage boundary, evidence, and human-review queue attached to every result.

Automated preflight is not an accessibility certification or legal determination.
