[Accessible Romania by Sano Touring]

Hi Eleonora,
Thank you for this pertinent summary of the current status in terms of accessibility certification in the EU, which are all voluntary certifications. An example we know is the Access4You app and certification – a product that ultimately gives the venue a certification bearing an EU mark.
There are many accessibility-related EU standards – overall accessibility, in the built environment, transportation, accessible tourism, accessible beaches, many in the ICT. All are published and available to purchase (their high price is another shortcoming for the actual implementation). There is only one common issue: no certification body to implement them at any level. I have recently seen an ENAT announcement
So basically the information is there, it can be used and applied, but no Certification Body, European or national, is available to certify the compliance, as it happens to any other ISO.
That’s why our application Audara (many thanks Eleonora for promoting it!) only assesses the current situation based on the legal requirements and gives a general overview – compliant/ non-compliant/ not applicable. This is a support for our accessibility audits of cultural venues, only, and we do not intend to go further with it.
