# EU Accessibility Act Accessibility Conformance Statement Template - Structure, Fields, and Evidence

Use this EU Accessibility Act accessibility conformance statement template to document product or service scope, standards used, test method.

*Artifact Guide* *EU*

## EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template

A practical accessibility conformance statement template for EU Accessibility Act teams that need a document procurement, sales, and compliance teams can actually use.

The statement should identify scope, standards, evidence, exceptions, and update ownership. It should never read like empty marketing copy.

The directive does not require one universal public statement format for every offering, but teams still need a consistent way to describe what is covered, how accessibility was assessed, what remains open, and who owns updates. For products, the formal Annex IV documentation and EU declaration of conformity are central. For services, customers and procurement teams still expect a clear conformance statement or accessibility disclosure. This template gives you a structure that stays useful across audits, customer due diligence, and internal release control.

## Core fields every accessibility conformance statement should contain

Start with identification. Name the product or service, version or release, channels covered, and the legal entity responsible. Then state the exact scope. A statement that says a company is accessible in general is not useful. A statement that says the consumer banking web app and iOS app release 4.8 were assessed against defined requirements is useful.

Next, explain the technical basis. Identify the standards or requirements used, such as applicable Annex I outcomes and EN 301 549 clauses. If only part of a standard was applied, say that directly. If Article 14 was relied on for a specific requirement, identify which requirement and summarise the documented rationale.

- Product or service name, version, channels, countries, and responsible legal entity.
- In-scope features and out-of-scope features with reasons.
- Requirements and standards used, including EN 301 549 and any WCAG mapping where relevant.
- Test methodology: dates, environments, assistive technologies, sample pages or journeys, and known limitations.
- Summary of findings, remediation status, and open issues with target dates.
- Contact route, owner, approval date, and next review date.

*Recommended next step*

*Placement: after the template, evidence, or documentation block*

## Keep EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template in one governed evidence system

SSOT can take EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template from reusing this material inside a governed evidence system to a reusable workflow inside Sorena. Teams working on EU Accessibility Act can keep owners, evidence, and next steps aligned without copying this guide into separate documents.

- [Open SSOT for EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template](/solutions/ssot.md): Start from EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template and keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system.
- [Talk through EU Accessibility Act](/contact.md): Review your current process, evidence gaps, and next steps for EU Accessibility Act Conformance Statement Template.

## How to keep the statement defensible

Treat the statement as the front page of an evidence pack, not as the evidence pack itself. Each claim should link back to a test record, design decision, remediation ticket, procurement response, or operator assessment. If the statement says voice interaction has a non voice alternative, you should be able to point to the tested feature and the result.

For products, align the public or customer facing statement with Annex IV technical documentation and the EU declaration of conformity so that different teams are not publishing conflicting compliance claims. For services, align the statement with internal release gates and customer support procedures so that known issues and workarounds are not hidden.

- Update the statement on every material release or scope change.
- Keep older versions archived so you can answer questions about what was true at a specific point in time.
- Record who approved the statement and which evidence bundle supported the approval.
- Do not claim full conformance if exceptions, partial scope, or unresolved critical defects still exist.
