Optional content
The commitment of the Novact Association for accessibility
The Rec mobile application has been built with the aim of facilitating universal access for all people who consult it regardless of their physical, sensory or intellectual capacities, and the technical context of use with which they do so (type of device, software, connection speed, environmental conditions, etc.).
For this reason, we work with the aim of eliminating the barriers that hinder access to information and communication presented by the application.
Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of October 26, 2016 establishes the rules that are required of the member states so that all the websites and mobile applications of the public sector, regardless of the device used to access it, meet the accessibility requirements set out in the UNE-EN 301549:2022 standard, of accessibility requirements for the public procurement of ICT products and services in Europe.
The UNE-EN 301549:2022 standard is based mainly on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, of August 2018. Specifically, level AA must be met. However, the standard also has other additional, mandatory and conditional requirements.
The directive is mandatory but not directly applicable, so at the state level a real decree has been developed that develops the scope and requirements, at least. The state transposition is Royal Decree 1112/2018, of 7 September, on the accessibility of websites and applications for mobile devices in the public sector.
