What could "simplified monitoring" of the implementation of the Web Accessibility Directive mean?

15.08.2019

The Web Directive 2016/2102 mandating the accessibilty of public web sites and apps in Europe has been around since December 2016. The monitoring methodology that describes how the implementation of the Directive should be checked was published in October 2018 as Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1524. So how should monitoring actually be done?

Detlev Fischer, member of the Web Accessibility Directive Expert Group, discusses this question in a blog article on the web site of the project "Team Usability": What could "simplified monitoring" of the implementation of the Web Accessibility Directive mean?
