HP and accessibility
Because HP works to weave diversity, inclusion, and work/life into the fabric of the company, it is reected in
everything HP does. HP strives to create an inclusive environment focused on connecting people to the power
of technology throughout the world.
Finding the technology tools you need
Technology can unleash your human potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology helps increase, maintain, and
improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology. For more information, see
Finding the best assistive technology on page 10.
The HP commitment
HP is committed to providing products and services that are accessible for people with disabilities. This
commitment supports the company's diversity objectives and helps ensure that the benets of technology
are available to all.
The HP accessibility goal is to design, produce, and market products and services that can be eectively used
by everyone, including people with disabilities, either on a stand-alone basis or with appropriate assistive
devices.
To achieve that goal, this Accessibility Policy establishes seven key objectives to guide HP actions. All HP
managers and employees are expected to support these objectives and their implementation in accordance
with their roles and responsibilities:
● Raise the level of awareness of accessibility issues within HP, and provide employees with the training
they need to design, produce, market, and deliver accessible products and services.
● Develop accessibility guidelines for products and services, and hold product development groups
accountable for implementing these guidelines where competitively, technically, and economically
feasible.
● Involve people with disabilities in the development of accessibility guidelines and in the design and
testing of products and services.
● Document accessibility features, and make information about HP products and services publicly
available in an accessible form.
● Establish relationships with leading assistive technology and solution providers.
● Support internal and external research and development that improves assistive technology relevant to
HP products and services.
● Support and contribute to industry standards and guidelines for accessibility.
International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP)
IAAP is a not-for-prot association focused on advancing the accessibility profession through networking,
education, and certication. The objective is to help accessibility professionals develop and advance their
careers and to better enable organizations to integrate accessibility into their products and infrastructure.
HP and accessibility 9
As a founding member, HP joined to participate with other organizations to advance the eld of accessibility.
This commitment supports HP’s accessibility goal of designing, producing, and marketing products and
services that people with disabilities can eectively use.
IAAP will make the profession strong by globally connecting individuals, students, and organizations to learn

Finding the best assistive technology
Everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations, should be able to communicate,
express themselves, and connect with the world using technology. HP is committed to increasing accessibility
awareness within HP and with our customers and partners. Whether it’s large fonts that are easy on the eyes,
voice recognition that lets you give your hands a rest, or any other assistive technology to help with your
specic situation—a variety of assistive technologies make HP products easier to use. How do you choose?
Assessing your needs
Technology can unleash your potential. Assistive technology removes barriers and helps you create
independence at home, at work, and in the community. Assistive technology (AT) helps increase, maintain,
and improve the functional capabilities of electronic and information technology.
You can choose from many AT products. Your AT assessment should allow you to evaluate several products,
answer your questions, and facilitate your selection of the best solution for your situation. You will nd that
professionals qualied to do AT assessments come from many elds, including those licensed or certied in
physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech/language pathology, and other areas of expertise. Others,
while not certied or licensed, can also provide evaluation information. You will want to ask about the
individual's experience, expertise, and fees to determine if they are appropriate for your needs.

Standards and legislation
Standards
Section 508 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards was created by the US Access Board to
address access to information and communication technology (ICT) for people with physical, sensory, or
cognitive disabilities. The standards contain technical criteria specic to various types of technologies, as well
as performance-based requirements which focus on functional capabilities of covered products. Specic
criteria cover software applications and operating systems, web-based information and applications,
computers, telecommunications products, video and multimedia, and self-contained closed products.
Mandate 376 – EN 301 549
The EN 301 549 standard was created by the European Union within Mandate 376 as the basis for an online
toolkit for public procurement of ICT products. The standard
requirements applicable to ICT products and services, together with a description of the test procedures and
evaluation methodology for each accessibility requirement.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) helps web
designers and developers create sites that better meet the needs of people with disabilities or age-related
limitations. WCAG advances accessibility across the full range of web content (text, images, audio, and video)
and web applications. WCAG can be precisely tested, is easy to understand and use, and allows web
developers exibility for innovation. WCAG 2.0 has also been approved as ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
WCAG specically addresses barriers to accessing the web experienced by people with visual, auditory,
physical, cognitive, and neurological disabilities, and by older web users with accessibility needs. WCAG 2.0
provides characteristics of accessible content:
● Perceivable (for instance, by addressing text alternatives for images, captions for audio, adaptability of
presentation, and color contrast)
● Operable (by addressing keyboard access, color contrast, timing of input, seizure avoidance, and
navigability)
● Understandable (by addressing readability, predictability, and input assistance)
● Robust (for instance, by addressing compatibility with assistive technologies)
