ICT accessibility competences - Guidelines for a more inclusive ICT development

ICT accessibility competences - Guidelines for a more inclusive ICT development

This document specifies the knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy of ICT experts involved in the development of products and services (including digital contents) to increase the accessibility knowledge in different fields, for different competences and responsibilities.
This document:
—   considers accessibility as "base line" (accessibility has been also recognized in EN 16234-1:2019 as a Transversal aspect);
—   recognizes accessibility as the requirement in procurement for both public and private sectors;
—   provides an overview of useful CEN, ISO and ESCO publications in the field;
—   defines a set of knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy for different ICT areas to improve accessibility in the current professional roles and job positions (hardware, software, web);
—   refers to ESCO ICT profiles, that can be adapted for the three main areas: hardware, software, web;
—   refers to W3C activities for define knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy in web accessibility role profiles;
—   supports activities for educational providers and exam/certification institutes.
This document should help, for example, to:
—   avoid issues on the definition of third level profiles derived from European ICT Professional Role Profiles without missing accessibility requirements;
—   enable easy application of accessibility related EU-level standards and references from CEN, ISO and ESCO;
—   allow the market to adapt their current job profiles and/or training courses adding the accessibility skills.
This document supports the definition of knowledge and skills for each ICT professional role without creating new ICT role profiles which includes accessibility competences.

Introduction
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) allows the removal of many of the remaining
barriers faced by persons with disabilities. With ICT increasingly integrated into every aspect of the
modern world, these ubiquitous technologies have become a positive force of transformation and a
crucial element of any personal development/empowerment and institutional framework for inclusive
development. ICT is already providing access to key public services, with widespread implications for
social progress and economic growth aimed at eradicating poverty and promoting inclusive societies and
sustainable development. Accessible ICT developments have the potential to provide persons with
disabilities unprecedented levels of access to education, skills training and employment, as well as the
opportunity to participate in the economic, cultural and social life of their communities.
Currently accessibility is not always considered in the design process and this leads to an exclusion of
persons with disabilities from access to ICT technologies which generates a digital discrimination.
Accessibility has become necessary due to the rapid growth of online information and interactive services
provided by web and mobile applications. Even if people with disabilities want to be independent and
carry out their activities independently, unfortunately, most Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) applications and systems are not fully accessible today.
Nowadays everything interacts with technologies and for this reason technologies and digital
communication should be available for all.
The inclusion of persons with disabilities in all aspects of society is one of the remaining challenges of the
global development agenda. The widespread adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in 2006 heralded a major step forward in advancing the inclusion
of persons with disabilities, turning their socio-economic exclusion into a human rights issue. The
UNCRPD places significant obligations on all state officials responsible for equal access to education and
employment opportunities.
In April 2019, the European Union published the DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/882 OF THE EUROPEAN
PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on the accessibility requirements for products and services.
The “European Accessibility Act” (EAA) will become national law in the member states by 2022.
The EEA will have implications for different actors in the ICT field:
— Service providers offering ICT (especially Web) services for their customers;
— Device manufacturers;
— Software and ICT hardware manufacturers;
— Procurers and procurement of ICT products.
Standardization bodies as an organization offering services to its members and the public may be affected
by the EAA.
Europe is currently developing and defining the requirements for accessible devices and services.
EN 301549 (published under Mandate M 376) specifies functional accessibility requirements applicable
to ICT products and services, together with a description of the test procedures and evaluation
methodology for each accessibility requirement in a form that is suitable for use in procurement. The
minimum requirements of the European Web Accessibility Directive (Directive 2016/2102) are explicitly
detailed in Annex A of EN 301549:2021.
In this scenario, there is a need to set the basic ground of ICT competences related to Accessibility.
EN 16234-1:2019, e-Competence Framework (e-CF) - A common European Framework for ICT
Professionals in all sectors - Part 1: Framework refers to accessibility competences, but different actors in
the ICT market (e.g. education institutes, professional certifications) still need to be supported with
specific requirement knowledge, skills, responsibility and autonomy related to different ICT professional
profiles.
1 Scope
This document specifies the knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy of ICT experts involved in
the development of products and services (including digital contents) to increase the accessibility
knowledge in different fields, for different competences and responsibilities.
This document:
— considers accessibility as "base line" (accessibility has been also recognized in EN 16234-1:2019 as
a Transversal aspect);
— recognizes accessibility as the requirement in procurement for both public and private sectors;
— provides an overview of useful CEN, ISO and ESCO publications in the field;
— defines a set of knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy for different ICT areas to improve
accessibility in the current professional roles and job positions (hardware, software, web);
— refers to ESCO ICT profiles, that can be adapted for the three main areas: hardware, software, web;
— refers to W3C activities for define knowledges, skills, responsibility and autonomy in web
accessibility role profiles;
— supports activities for educational providers and exam/certification institutes.
This document should help, for example, to:
— avoid issues on the definition of third level profiles derived from European ICT Professional Role
Profiles without missing accessibility requirements;
— enable easy application of accessibility related EU-level standards and references from CEN, ISO and
ESCO;
— allow the market to adapt their current job profiles and/or training courses adding the accessibility
skills.
This document supports the definition of knowledge and skills for each ICT professional role without
creating new ICT role profiles which includes accessibility competences.

European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession (EU ICT Ethics)
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17834:2022

This document will provide an “European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession (EU ICT Ethics)” to support the vision of establishing a profession for the ICT workforce. It will thereby offer the possibility to coalesce other ethics focused initiatives around a common structure.
This ethics framework will be directly linked to EN 16234-1. It will incorporate the structural concept of EN 16234-1 and, in a comparable way, describe a blueprint of what is required and what competencies, skills and knowledge are needed to identify and address the ethical challenges that ICT professionals face in their work.
Therefore it will extend the ethics principles already described in the "Transversal Aspects of the e-Competence Framework" in such a way that concrete requirements and procedures can be defined and implemented in the respective context on the basis of the roles, methods and processes defined in the framework.
The Scope therefore is to crystalize ‘ICT Professional Ethics” into a manageable, structure “European Professional Ethics Framework for the ICT Profession” and to provide guidance on practical application provided by a methodology and application guide that will support the establishment of codes of ethics.

EN 17748-1:2022(Main)
Foundational Body of Knowledge for the ICT Profession (ICT BoK) - Part 1: Body of Knowledge
SIST EN 17748-1:2022

This document provides a reference of 42 knowledge units as required and applied in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professional work environment that can be understood across Europe. An intrinsic link with the EN 16234-1 (e-CF) is an essential characteristic of this document.
The document is created for application by:
—   educational institutions, learning programme and certification providers of all types including:
•   Vocational and Educational Training (VET);
•   Higher education (HE);
•   Continuous Professional Development (CPD);
—   ICT service, user and supply organisations;
—   ICT professionals, managers and human resource (HR) departments;
—   social partners (trade unions and employer associations), professional associations, accreditation, validation and assessment bodies;
—   market analysts and policy makers; and
—   other organisations and stakeholders in public and private sectors.
This document is provided as one fundamental building block of ICT Professionalism for Europe.
The prime objective of this document is to provide a significant contribution to the broad concept of ICT professionalism founded upon four building blocks, body of knowledge, e-CF competence, professional ethics and education and training. Complementary to the EN 16234-1 (e-CF) that provides an efficient and broadly accepted common European language about ICT professional competence, the European ICT Foundational Body of Knowledge (ICT BoK) makes an additional contribution to ICT professional knowledge, increasing transparency and maturity of the ICT Profession across Europe.
Specifically, the document provides a structured library of knowledge elements applicable to ICT professionals across a broad spectrum of disciplines. The knowledge elements are identified as either:
a)   common knowledge applicable to all ICT professionals regardless of speciality;
b)   base knowledge that provides a foundation and underpins each of a range of different disciplines/specialisms;
c)   specialised knowledge pertaining to in-depth, very specific expert knowledge.
Although providing and adding value to all stakeholders, knowledge defined by this document, provides a particularly useful perspective and entry point for educational institutions seeking to participate in ICT professional competence development. As a natural extension to EN 16234-1 (e-CF) dimension 4 knowledge examples, this document further facilitates the use of the shared European language for ICT Professional competence. By expanding the knowledge content of the EN 16234-1 (e-CF), it adds value to its application alongside further connected references.

Guidelines for developing ICT Professional Curricula as scoped by EN 16234-1 (e-CF)
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17699:2022

This document provides guidance and inspiration on how to design/redesign, develop, maintain, adjust, and compare ICT Professional curricula and learning programmes as scoped by EN 16234 1:2019 and related documents.
EN 16234 1:2019 (e-CF) is the starting guiding point for this document, for a shared European language for ICT professional development. Other framework sources can be used to apply the methodology outlined in this document.
This document is for application by educational institutions, learning programmes and certification providers of all types (public and private), providing ICT Professional education and training including:
•   Higher Education (HE);
•   Vocational Education and Training (VET);
•   Any other educational or training institution or provider in professional ICT, e.g. Continuous Professional Development (CPD).
This document is focused on guiding education providers on how to align curricula and learning programmes with the structure and principles of EN 16234 1 (e-CF) e-Competences and CWA 16458 1 ICT Professional Role Profiles. It applies to all forms of education, supporting educational providers who plan to use a shared European language on knowledge, skills, competences and roles, as ingredients for the successful provision of ICT Professional education and training.
The guidelines, provided by this document, include formal, non-formal and industry developed education and training through the provision of high-level, consistent recommendations and guidance for ICT curriculum or learning programme design by any education provider.
In this document, a distinction is made between a learning programme and a curriculum. The term “curriculum” is strongly associated with formal educational institutions and degrees, the term “learning programme” indicates a broader, more encompassing concept, also incorporating training and other learning programmes, not restricted to only “curricula”. As the proposed methodology in this document relates to both curricula and learning programmes, the term ‘learning programme’ is used throughout the text. If the term ‘curriculum’ is used, then that narrower meaning is explicitly applicable in that situation.

Foundational Body of Knowledge for the ICT Profession (ICT BoK) - Part 2: User Guide and Methodology
SIST-TP CEN/TR 17748-2:2022

This document supports understanding, adoption and use of EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK) that provides a reference of 42 knowledge units as required and applied in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) professional work environment that can be understood across Europe.
This document supports Information and Communication Technology (ICT) stakeholders dealing with ICT Professional knowledge, skills and competences from multiple perspectives, in particular:
- educational institutions, learning programmes and certification providers of all types including:
- Vocational and Educational Training (VET);
- Higher education (HE);
- Continuous Professional Development (CPD);
- ICT service, user and supply organizations;
- ICT professionals, managers and human resource (HR) departments;
- social partners (trade unions and employer associations), professional associations, accreditation, validation and assessment bodies;
- market analysts and policy makers;
- and other organizations and stakeholders in public and private sectors across Europe
to adopt, apply and use the Foundational Body of Knowledge in their environment as one fundamental building block of ICT Professionalism for Europe.
See Figure 1 for illustration of document scope and target groups.
A close connection with EN 16234-1 (e-CF) and CWA 16458 (ICT Profiles) are a design element of EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK). This application support document details how to approach the complementary application of each structure by varied stakeholders of the European ICT Professionalism eco-system. It supports the use of a shared neutral reference for ICT professional development. This interconnected application is illustrated in Figure 2. Nevertheless, the ICT BoK can also be used as a stand-alone tool.
This document provides:
- An ICT BoK EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW of the scope, target groups, underlying principles and main characteristics is provided in Clause 4.
- The ICT BoK USER GUIDE in Clause 5: guidance on how to apply the Foundational Body of Knowledge for the ICT Profession from multiple ICT stakeholder perspectives. It addresses the need to further enhance the flexibility and applicability of the competences described within the e-CF as it offers further delineation and articulation of the knowledge components of competences. EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK) is intended for guidance and is designed to provide a common shared reference tool which can be implemented, adapted and used in accordance with ICT stakeholder requirements. The following implementation guidance is structured by target groups and complemented by two ICT BoK application cases. During the course of the EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK) development, real world experience was a necessary contribution to ensuring future application of the structure. Dissemination of the ICT BoK development progress enabled testing of the structure as it developed. One outcome of this open approach was that some examples of practical application, despite that at the time, not published, could be tested and made available as two application cases.
- The ICT BoK METHODOLOGY DOCUMENTATION in Clause 6: here the ICT BoK creation process is explained as well as important aspects of its development. This section supports the methodology grounding for the development, implementation and future maintenance of the ICT BoK.
- A series of ANNEXES, allowing user-targeted ICT BoK navigation according to particular viewpoints.

Nevertheless, the ICT BoK can also be used as a stand-alone tool.
This document provides:
- An ICT BoK EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW of the scope, target groups, underlying principles and main characteristics is provided in Clause 4.
- The ICT BoK USER GUIDE in Clause 5: guidance on how to apply the Foundational Body of Knowledge for the ICT Profession from multiple ICT stakeholder perspectives. It addresses the need to further enhance the flexibility and applicability of the competences described within the e-CF as it offers further delineation and articulation of the knowledge components of competences. EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK) is intended for guidance and is designed to provide a common shared reference tool which can be implemented, adapted and used in accordance with ICT stakeholder requirements. The following implementation guidance is structured by target groups and complemented by two ICT BoK application cases. During the course of the EN 17748-1 (ICT BoK) development, real world experience was a necessary contribution to ensuring future application of the structure. Dissemination of the ICT BoK development progress enabled testing of the structure as it developed. One outcome of this open approach was that some examples of practical application, despite that at the time, not published, could be tested and made available as two application cases.
- The ICT BoK METHODOLOGY DOCUMENTATION in Clause 6: here the ICT BoK creation process is explained as well as important aspects of its development. This section supports the methodology grounding for the development, implementation and future maintenance of the ICT BoK.
- A series of ANNEXES, allowing user-targeted ICT BoK navigation according to particular viewpoints.

Food processing machinery - Craft bakery and pastry depositors - Safety and hygiene requirements
kSIST FprEN 17677:2024

1.1 This document specifies safety and hygiene requirements for the design and manufacture of craft bakery and pastry depositors as described in the normative Annex A and which:
a)   are intended to be:
-   only for professional use;
-   used by one operator at a time;
-   used to deposit only pasty food (i.e.: cream, dough, batter, etc.);
-   used to deposit only on trays;
-   used as standalone machines;
-   used with manual loading of the dough into the hopper;
-   used with manual loading and unloading of the tray/s on/from the tray conveyor.
b)   can carry out only the following movements and relevant directions (see Figure 1a)):
-   Z: vertical movement of the table and/or the deposit unit;
-   X: horizontal movement of the tray conveyor;
-   Y: possible horizontal component of the movement only of the spouts themselves inside the deposit unit;
c)   are fitted with one or more hoppers whose capacity is ≤ 60 dm3 each;
d)   have a total length of the tray conveyor ≤ 1 600 mm;
e)   have a vertical movement between spouts and tray conveyor (H) ≤ 200 mm (see Figure 1c));
f)   have a deposit performance (see 3.5):
-   ≤ 60 cycles/minute with up/down movement of the table or the deposit unit;
-   ≤ 100 cycles/minute without up/down movement of the table or the deposit unit;
g)   have a trays performance (see 3.6) ≤ 4 trays/minute.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to adjustment, operation and cleaning of craft bakery and pastry depositors, when they are used as intended or under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer.
This document covers requirements for the safe operation of the machine, including loading, depositing, unloading and cleaning.
1.2 The following hazards are not covered by this document:
-   hazards arising from the use of an automatic hopper loading system;
-   hazards due to packaging, handling or transport;
-   hazards arising from electromagnetic compatibility issues;
-   hazards due to dismantling and disassembling;
-   hazards due to operational stop;
-   hazards due to selection of control or operating modes;
-   hazards due to failure of the power supply;
-   hazards due to surfaces, edges or angles;
-   hazards due to uncontrolled movements;
-   hazards due to machinery maintenance.
This standard does not deal with any specific requirements on noise emitted from craft bakery and pastry depositor as the generated noise does not cause a relevant hazard.
The significant hazards covered by this document are described in Annex B.
1.3 The following machines are excluded from the scope of this document:
a)   machines which deposit pasty food by means of needles (injection);
b)   machines where the trays are put onto and/or removed from the tray conveyor automatically;
c)   machines which require a blade for the cutting system;
d)   domestic appliances;
e)   machines for industrial production;
f)   machines to deposit other products than food for bakery and pastry products.
1.4 This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of publication of this European Standard.
