Directive (EU) 2019/882
Article 13(2) · Annex V

Annex V accessibility information

Article 13(2) requires a service provider to prepare this, explain how the service meets the applicable requirements, publish it in written AND oral format, and keep it for as long as the service is in operation.

It is not the public-sector accessibility statement. There is no feedback mechanism and no enforcement link; Annex V puts the information in your terms and conditions or an equivalent document.

Scope

Offered in the European Union? *

The threshold question of the Directive. There is no default: assuming yes invents the fact the whole thing turns on, and assuming no produces an empty duty list that reads like compliance.

How each Annex I requirement is met

0 / 29

Every requirement that applies to this service is listed, defaulting to "not assessed". Leave one unassessed and it stays on the document with that status. Annex V point 1(c) asks how requirements are MET, and silence is not an answer.

These apply to every requirement you mark. If different requirements were checked differently, generate now and edit the document, or run one statement per audit.
