Project 1779, ISO/IEC 24756:2009, Information technology - Framework for specifying a common access
profile (CAP) of needs and capabilities of ousers, systems, and their environmants


This International Standard defines a framework for specifying a common access profile (CAP) of needs and
capabilities of users, computing systems, and their environments, including access that is supported by
assistive technologies. It provides a basis for identifying and dealing with accessibility issues in a standardised
manner across multiple platforms. It can be used to evaluate the accessibility of existing systems in particular
environments for particular users.
