The EU public sector regulations [1] exclude: - live time-based media; - online maps and mapping services, as long as essential information is provided in an accessible digital manner for maps intended for navigational use; - reproductions of items in heritage collections that cannot be made fully accessible... That's taken from the UK implementation, which I find easier to read [2].

Here is their "list of exclusions" (August 2011) from the CA Standard on Web Accessibility: https://www.tbs-sct.gc.ca/pol/doc-eng.aspx?id=23601#appB I knew about the exception for live captioning, but didn't remember the complex map bit. My understanding is that the policy is being reviewed, and thus will almost certainly be updated, but no insight to the timeline or other details.
