Implementation Flexibility: The stylesheets included in this IG are provided as best-practice examples. Implementers are free to reuse them, modify them, or develop their own according to national regulatory rules and branding requirements.

Design Philosophy

♿

Accessibility (WCAG)

Follow WCAG 2.1 AA principles — sufficient colour contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen reader compatibility for all user groups.

📱

Responsiveness

Layouts that adapt gracefully to desktop, tablet, and mobile screen sizes. ePI must be readable on any device.

🧭

Navigation Aids

CSS and HTML may add navigational aids such as accordions, tables of contents, and tab bars to improve usability.

🚨

Critical Rule: The rendering process (HTML/CSS) must only change the visual appearance and add navigational aids. It must never alter the actual text or meaning of the authorized content. This ensures that stylesheets do not compromise national regulatory rules regarding authorized medicinal product information.
