The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) have three levels of conformance; A, AA, and AAA. How do you know which conformance level to use?
- UTMB's standard is WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.
- However, you can try to remove as many barriers as possible, by aiming for Level AAA compliance on a success criteria whenever possible.
Compliance levels:
- Level A - meets all of the Level A requirements in full, or a conforming alternate version is provided
- Level AA - meets all of the Level A and Level AA requirements in full, or a conforming level AA alternate version is provided
- Level AAA - meets all of the Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA requirements in full, or a conforming Level AAA alternate version is provided
