Products and services covered: Product categories and best practice examples This list is not exhaustive: it does however provide examples of the most important products to be considered in each category covered by this protocol. It addresses the vast majority of technology products to be purchased or used in corporate environments. By ensuring that these are accessible, you can be assured that you are meeting the accessibility needs of most users of technology. Remember: it is essential that every product/interface has been user tested We would expect a manufacturer, developer or user testing to include testing by supplier’s users with a range of capabilities, including those with a range of impairments and using a range of different assistive technologies. own user acceptance testing Organisations’ should reflect the range of user capabilities to be expected in that organisation, now and in the future. Generic user testing should include functionality which helps meet accessibility criteria, e.g. ensuring that keyboard navigation of an application or online service is possible. Hardware desktop, laptop, netbook, servers, PDA, tablet, printers, monitors, – scanners, MFD devices etc. Software operating systems, office suites, browsers, ERP systems, recruitment – and HR systems, business applications etc. Telecoms Fixed line or VOIP Telephones, mobile phones, smartphones (including – iPhones, Android, Windows Mobile, and Tizen devices), routers, switches etc. Audio/Video Display screens (e.g. plasma or LCD), projectors, Tannoy/PA – systems etc. Websites web development, maintenance, design, graphics, animation, audio, – colour palette etc. Support services Helpdesks, engineering services etc. – Closed products Fax machines, photocopiers, electronic Kiosks etc. – Sample UI/UX guidance – websites and online content These four criteria will help the site meet many of the accessibility guidelines with very little incremental effort.
