The CWAs concerned are produced by Workshops whose participants have concluded a special arrangement, or they relate to the eEurope standardization effort. Other CWAs may be purchased from a CEN Member.

Note: 'Implementation' of this CWA requires assessment methods and techniques, that will be developed in a separate normative document (not yet available). At W3C/WAI's request, we also record their position on the need for rigorous training criteria and curriculum as a necessary step before 'implementation'.

Document Processing for Accessibility
CWA 16266:2011
Curriculum for training ICT Professionals in Universal Design
One of the principles of Universal Design is the development of products, technology and content that is accessible and usable to all people taking into account their varying abilities or disabilities.
To ensure the widest audience and enable equal access for all potential readers, CWA 16266:2011 has been published for the first time ever at CEN as an accessible PDF format. While retaining the same appearance as a standard PDF, an accessible PDF contains hidden tags that denote structure. This enables users of assistive technologies, such as blind persons, to navigate and read all the content in the document. A result achieved thanks to the collaboration of the National Disability Authority of Ireland which has provided for the expertise, as well as the CEN-CENELEC Production Unit team.
