Non-textual content: tables?

Hello,

Our country adopted the EN 301 549:2019 norm/standard, which is based on WCAG 2.1 guidelines. I have a question regarding the 1.1.1 success criteria, which is non-textual content. In concrete, I cannot find anywhere how the tables should be considered. We are sure that figures must have an alternative text as they are non-textual content, but our doubt is with the tables, we do not know how they should be considered, and we couldn't find any solid clarification in the norm/standard.

Please can you help us?

Thank you,
Regards,
Vera.
