  • A review has been conducted and changes made (when necessary) to ensure that Components with the same functionality behave consistently:

    • Within the component, interactive elements with the same function have consistent labels.
    • Standard user interface designs for the platform are used when applicable.

Information that needs to be included publicly:

  • Title, role or organization making the assertion (if different from the conformance claim).
  • Date of when the review was completed.

Key Terms

accessibility support set

group of user agents and assistive technologies you test with

The AGWG is considering defining a default set of user agents and assistive technologies that they use when validating guidelines.

Accessibility support sets may vary based on language, region, or situation.

If you are not using the default accessibility set, the conformance report should indicate what set is being used.

accessibility supported

available and working in the user agents and assistive technology in the accessibility support set

The working group intended to include a default accessibility support set. See Default accessibility support set #277.

component

grouping of elements for a distinct function

interactive element

element that responds to user input and has a distinct programmatically determinable name

In contrast to non-interactive elements. For example, headings or paragraphs.

non-interactive element

element that does not respond to user input and does not include sub-parts

If a paragraph included a link, the text either side of the link would be considered a static element, but not the paragraph as a whole.

Letters within text do not constitute a “smaller part”.

programmatically determinable

meaning of the content and all its important attributes can be determined by software functionality that is accessibility supported
