I assume these refer to the statutes of some country. I think you need to consult a lawyer competent in the law of that country. My guess is that it needs to comply with both, but IANAL and am not aware of any UK legislation that is that detailed. However, if this application is intended for the world wide web, rather than for purchase for use on company intranets, you should ensure that it is usable without the multi-media presentation, as you cannot assume that recipients have the necessary software, or are currently using a machine capable of running it, or in a situation where they can make effective use of one, etc.
