Key takeaways

  • Compliance is divided into regular conformity (satisfying all requirements, aligned with WCAG 2.2 Level AA) and full conformity (satisfying both requirements and recommendations).
  • Guidelines cover specific interface elements including keyboard navigation, text alternatives for images, semantic headers, regions, lists, tables, and form controls.
  • Informative annexes provide guidance on problematic accessibility items, functional performance criteria, and a compliance checklist.
