Annex V Statement Validator

Validate any published accessibility statement against the 14 mandatory elements of EAA Annex V, EN 301 549 §12.1.1 and Directive 2016/2102 Article 7.

How it works: We fetch the URL server-side and search the page text for each Annex V mandatory element using language-agnostic patterns (PT, EN, FR, ES, DE, IT). Each element carries a weight; the score is the percentage of weighted elements present. Use this to verify your own statement before publication, or to assess a third party's statement before procurement.
