Summary
Maintenance means keeping standards current and managing changes in a clear and accessible way. This includes explaining updates or withdrawals, sharing information in accessible formats, inviting ongoing feedback, and continuing to involve D/deaf and D/disabled people in decisions over time.
Why is this important?
Regular maintenance helps standards stay relevant and reflect changes in technology, practices, and people’s needs. Ongoing review and involvement help ensure standards continue to support meaningful participation and remain useful over time.
