France, like several countries in the world, developed a legal framework to guarantee the digital accessibility of its public communication services, based on compliance with accessibility standards. The thesis we defend in this article is that these accessibility norms are mainly focused on form and function design of digital interfaces, to the detriment of symbolic design, use design and relationships design. By recommending a perceptible, usable, comprehensible and robust interface, standards only pay attention to materiality and usefulness of the artifact to be designed. Some works in accessible design has already pointed out the limits of standards and recommended an accessible use design. We adhere to it by directing the reflection towards an accessible symbolic design.
