GR491
The GR491 is the reference guide for the responsible design of digital services, published by the Institute for Sustainable IT (INR).
Scope
Unlike the RGESN, the GR491 is not limited to environmental ecodesign. It also covers the social and ethical dimensions of sustainable IT: accessibility, protection of personal data, and avoidance of deceptive interfaces.
Its name comes from the number of recommendations in its first version.
Structure
Eight families follow the life cycle of a digital service: strategy, specifications, UX/UI, content, architecture, frontend, backend and hosting.
It contains 61 recommendations broken down into 516 criteria.
Licence
The GR491 is published under the Etalab Open Licence v2.0, which permits reuse, distribution and adaptation. It is available online and maintained collaboratively.
