No harmonised standard is cited in the Official Journal under this Directive, so the Article 15(1) presumption of conformity is available to nobody. EN 301 549 is harmonised under Directive (EU) 2016/2102, the Web Accessibility Directive, and not under this one. Conformity is demonstrated against Annex I directly.
Every quoted requirement on this page is verbatim Official Journal text. The surrounding guidance is Legalithm’s commentary and is not regulation. This page states the obligation and its legal basis; it is not legal advice, and the corpus has not been reviewed by counsel.
