Abstract
Public procurement is one way for public administrations to promote accessibility. By procuring accessible products and services, they raise the awareness about accessibility and they have an impact on industry. In Europe, the European Commission''s Mandate M 376 has resulted in a European Standard, EN 301 549, containing accessibility requirements for ICT products and services that are suitable for use in public procurement. EN 301 549 has been drafted using a feature-based approach and can be applied to any ICT product and service. The users of the standard will need guidance to decide which re-quirements of the EN apply to a given product or service. This paper presents a decision-tree approach for that problem. This approach is being validated during the design of the user interface of a support tool for the assessment of the accessibility of ICT products and services.
