EN 301 549

The European standard for accessible technology, whose web requirements follow WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

EN 301 549 describes accessibility requirements for information and communication technology, including websites, software, documents, hardware, and support. Version 3.2.1 includes web requirements based on WCAG 2.1 AA.

The European Commission identifies version 3.2.1 as the harmonized standard for the Web Accessibility Directive. That gives a presumption of conformity for the requirements it covers. Its status under that directive does not automatically establish conformity with the European Accessibility Act. Confirm the version and legal framework your evaluation needs to address. Buyers may request a conformance report against the relevant parts of this standard.
