Web Accessibility Compliance Hub
Plain-English guides to WCAG 2.2, the ADA, the European Accessibility Act, Section 508 and other accessibility rules.
Last reviewed by the WebsiteAccessibility.io team.
Key takeaways
- Most accessibility laws point to the same technical standard: WCAG, usually version 2.1 or 2.2 at Level AA.
- Which law applies depends on where you operate, who your customers are and whether you are public sector.
- Automated scanning finds part of the problem; human testing is still needed for a complete picture.
