What does digital accessibility mean?

A website is accessible if it can be found, accessed and used by people with disabilities without any particular difficulty and, in principle, without outside help. A person with a disability should therefore be able to use a website just as independently as a person without a disability. In Norway alone, over 650,000 people have a disability, but many more people benefit from simple and accessible websites. Eye-Able® is the ideal partner for fulfilling these principles of accessibility on your own website as a holistic provider of digital accessibility.

Discrimination and Accessibility Act & EN 301549

The most important laws on website accessibility in Norway are the European Directive EN 301549, and the Discrimination and Accessibility Act ("diskriminerings og tilgjengelighetsloven").

What laws are there?

EN 301549: The EU directive was adopted in 2016, ratified by the EU Parliament & EU Council and is considered a binding standard in Europe. It primarily affects public institutions, but also private organizations.

Discrimination and Accessibility Act: The law prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and obliges public and private organizations to ensure equal access to their services.

What do the laws say?

EN 301549: The EU directive defines the requirements in the public sector. The criteria define the importance of perceptibility, user-friendliness, comprehensibility and robustness in accordance with EU Directive 2016/2102 "on the accessibility of the websites of public sector bodies".

Discrimination and Accessibility Act: Websites and digital services must comply with WCAG 2.0 AA and take active measures to promote equality and prevent discrimination. The law applies to public and private organizations that provide services to the general public, e.g. in the areas of transportation, education, health and more.

What needs to be done?

In all public organizations - regardless of their size - and in private organizations - with more than 50 employees - employers must take the following measures within their organization:

Damages and compensation: Can be claimed in cases involving the employment relationship, regardless of whether the employer can be held liable.
Possible fines or imprisonment under Section 39 of the Discrimination and Accessibility Act

How can website accessibility errors be rectified?

Digital accessibility is not only important for people with disabilities, but ultimately benefits everyone as it makes it easier to access digital content. This improves usability for everyone.

Make sure that you are digitally accessible to ensure unrestricted and equal access to your information and services for all citizens, regardless of their physical, sensory or cognitive abilities.
