EN 301 549 V4.1.1 - Accessibility requirements for ICT products and services 10.1.4: 10.1.4 Distinguishable

For a non-web document within the ICT, the document has to satisfy the WCAG 2.2 criteria of this group: colour never the sole carrier of meaning (10.1.4.1); pause, stop or separate volume for audio that plays by itself beyond 3 seconds (10.1.4.2); text contrast of 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text (10.1.4.3); text enlargeable to 200 percent without loss (10.1.4.4); real text used in place of pictures of text (10.1.4.5); reflow at a 320 CSS pixel width (256 in height for horizontal text) without scrolling both ways (10.1.4.10); 3:1 contrast for component boundaries, states and graphics needed for understanding (10.1.4.11); no loss when users widen line, paragraph, letter and word spacing (10.1.4.12); hover or focus pop-ups that can be dismissed, hovered over and stay put (10.1.4.13). Audio control, reflow (only where the viewer can present content that narrow), non-text contrast and hover content are restated in Tables 10.1 to 10.4 with document wording; text spacing applies to documents built in markup that lets users change spacing; best practice is a smallest x-height of 8 CSSpx.
