WCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), also known as ISO/IEC 40500, represent globally recognized standards aimed at enhancing a11y for individuals with disabilities. Comprising three levels of success criteria but middle level (AA) is preferred for robust accessibility. Currently, we adhere to WCAG version 2.2, which offers enhanced guidance for users with cognitive or learning disabilities, low vision, and mobile disabilities.
EN 301 549
EN 301 549 is anticipated to serve as the applicable standard for European industry, aligning with WCAG and employing the same structure for web, non-web documents, and non-web software. EN 301 549 includes three levels of conformance, with the middle level (Level AA) being mandatory. The European Accessibility Act, which is expected to incorporate it, is set to take effect on June 28, 2025.
