Re: Question about: functional performance Statement (FPS) in European EN 301 549

Clause C, "Determination of Conformance", states the following in C.4:

- "Clause 4 is informative and does not contain requirements that 
require testing."

In that case they are only applicable under 2 specific circumstances *equivalent facilitation and when a standard doesn't exist for a given technology) and thus can be omitted in terms of reporting for Section 508 revised.  I'd agree that testing is not required -- but a bigger question is whether they should be reported on. At this point I'd say it's safer to report on them for the EN 301 549 standard -- but I'd like to hear others thoughts as well.
