36 CFR Part 1194 - Proposed Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Standards and Guidelines NPRM

See also: Final Rule published to the Federal Register 1/18/17 that jointly updates requirements for ICT covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communication Act.

402.1 General.

Except for personal headsets and other audio couplers, closed functionality of ICT shall be operable without requiring the user to attach or install assistive technology and shall conform to 402.

Advisory 402.1 General. Self-service machines, information kiosks, set-top boxes, and devices like most copiers, fax machines, and calculators have closed functionality because, by design, these products preclude the user from adding peripherals or software. ICT also may have closed functionality in practice even though the manufacturer did not design or develop it to be closed. Computers with security restrictions that prevent end users from adjusting settings or adding assistive technology have closed functionality.
