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

If you are looking at this standard in relation to the E.U.-wide public sector web accessibility regulations then you may want to have a look at V3 of the standard (currently in draft waiting approval) may help -
https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301549/03.01.01_20/en_301549v030101a.pdf. This adds Annex A describing how the standard can be used in relation to compliance for the standard.

Hello Listers,
My question relates to the functional performance statement in Clause
4 on page 17 of   EN 301 549 standard.

(The standard is available as a PDF at
https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsi.org%2Fdeliver%2Fetsi_en%2F301500_301599%2F301549%2F02.01.02_60%2Fen_301549v020102p.pdf&amp;data=01%7C01%7Ca.james%40soton.ac.uk%7Cb349faea0fe245c5f32b08d736f71411%7C4a5378f929f44d3ebe89669d03ada9d8%7C0&amp;sdata=dKvS7uBk4tIg8oum53Ef7u2Y8nKRQJx5qeSxIFh0rSo%3D&amp;reserved=0?

(with serious tagging lapses)
Item C.4 of Annex C (normative) starting on page 96 states:
"Clause 4 is informative and does not contain requirements that
require testing".

So am I interpreting this correctly  if I say, FPS of the EN-standard
never have to be explicitly tested separately?
One needs to only check against the applicable clauses 5 to 13 that
apply to an ICT.
Note:  the mapping for requirements in Clause 5 to 13 against the FPS
is given separately in Annex B of the standard.
Thanks in advance,
