• If you are a national audiovisual media service provider whose average audience share in the previous calendar year exceeds 1%, ensure that all your programmes, apart from television shopping windows, advertising and trailers, are available with Hungarian subtitles, for example through teletext, or with sign language interpretation; this does not apply to programmes made available in their original language, except those published under s. 99(2) (s. 39(2) and (3)).
• If you are the public service or significant market power audiovisual media service provider, make the domestically produced films you show on your media service with the highest average audience share between 18:30 and 21:30 accessible to visually impaired viewers (s. 39(2a)).
• Cover no less than ten hours of programme time a day in serving hearing-impaired viewers, and once you have made a programme, or a dramaturgically connected series of programmes, accessible by subtitling, sign language interpretation or accessibility for visually impaired viewers, do so for its whole duration (s. 39(4) and (5)).
• Tell viewers, before a programme that is subtitled, sign-interpreted or made accessible for visually impaired viewers, by pictogram and spoken announcement that it is available in that form, and before a subtitled programme that it is also available in that form on the related teletext service; keep the subtitled text accurate and in step with the events on screen, using an abridged summary only where full subtitles would be impossible to follow; and keep subtitling of programmes not published from a recording as accurate and in step as can reasonably be expected (s. 39(6) and (7)).
• If you are a programme distributor, pass on the teletext signal or other subtitling that the audiovisual media service provider supplies, in step with the picture and sound, on every transmission system, network or distribution platform (s. 39(8)).
• Prepare an action plan on accessibility measures and report on the measures taken when the NMHH calls on you to (s. 39(9)).

• Where a European Union legislative act adopts mandatory accessibility requirements, expect the technical specification to refer to that act so far as it concerns accessibility for people with disabilities or design for all users (s. 47(3)).
• Expect the technical specification of a public procurement to be set with regard to equal access to the services for all users and, where the object of the procurement allows, for people with disabilities (s. 47(1)).

• If you are a distributor, act with due care in relation to the requirements of the Accessibility Act, check before distributing a product that it carries the CE marking and is accompanied by the required documentation and the instructions in Hungarian, do not distribute a product you judge, or have reason to suppose, to be non-conforming until conformity is ensured, inform the manufacturer or importer and the market surveillance authorities, make sure storage and transport do not jeopardise conformity while the product is your responsibility, and hand over documentation and cooperate when a competent authority asks (s. 14/E(1) to (6)).
• If you place a product on the market under your own name or trademark, or modify a product already on the market in a way that may affect its conformity, you carry the duties of a manufacturer (s. 14/F).
• Identify to a market surveillance authority, on request, each operator that supplied you with a product and each operator you supplied, and be able to do so for five years (s. 14/G).
• If you appoint an authorised representative, give the representative a written mandate that lets it keep the EU declaration of conformity and the technical documentation for five years for the market surveillance authorities, hand over the information a competent authority asks for and cooperate with it; the manufacturer's design duty and the technical documentation stay outside the mandate (s. 14/C).
