On 4 June 2026 the three European Standards Organizations released a revised TR 101 551 — the procurement-side companion to EN 301 549. Here is what it changes for contracting authorities and the suppliers who bid into their tenders.
assistive-technology
Assistive technology for blind and low-vision people changed more between 2023 and 2026 than in the prior decade. This primer maps the real innovations — Be My AI, Ray-Ban Meta, smart canes, the Monarch, and AI screen readers — with what each delivers and where it still fails.
ada
What website accessibility actually costs in 2026 — DIY, scanners, manual audits, remediation, and ongoing monitoring — plus whether you legally need it, what happens if you skip it, and when to hire.
public-transport
How public-transport accessibility is regulated — ADA paratransit and bus-lift rules in the US, the EU's PRM TSI and passenger-rights regulations, and the UK PSVAR — plus the gaps that persist from the platform to the app.
employment
A data dossier on the disability employment gap, the pay gap, and the quota systems built to close them — assembled from ILO, WHO, Eurostat, US BLS, OECD and JAN figures, with every number sourced and the soft spots flagged.
disability-rights
How the disability rights movement moved from charity and institutions to a civil-rights framework — the 504 sit-in, the social model, deinstitutionalisation, the Capitol Crawl, and the road to the UN CRPD.
