WCAG 2.0 Technology-Specific Checklists [draft]

Guideline 1 - Perceivable.
Ensure that all intended function and information can be presented in form(s) that can be perceived by any user - except those aspects that cannot be expressed in words.

Checkpoint 1.1 For all non-text content that can be expressed in words, provide a text equivalent of the function or information the non-text content was intended to convey.

Minimum Level Success Criterion Pass Fail N/A
1.1.1 non-text content that can be expressed in words has a text-equivalent explicitly associated with it.

Technology X Techniques
not possible
There are no techniques for this technology (at this time) that address this success Criterion. Therefore, content should not be presented exclusively in this format. Refer to Guideline 5 for information about providing accessible, alternative formats.

Minimum Level Success Criterion Pass Fail N/A
1.1.2 non-text content that can not be expressed in words has a descriptive label provided as its text-equivalent.
  • The text equivalant should fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content).

1.1.3 the text-equivalent has been reviewed and is believed to fulfill the same function as the author intended for the non-text content (i.e. it presents all of the intended information and/or achieves the same function of the non-text content)      
Level 2 Success Criterion Pass Fail N/A
1.1.4 a conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2.

Checkpoint 3.3 Use consistent but not necessarily identical presentation.

Level 2 Success Criterion Pass Fail N/A
3.3.2 the content has been reviewed, taking into account the additional ideas listed below, and it has been concluded that key orientation and navigational elements are generally found in one or two locations, or their locations are otherwise predictable.      

 

Additional Ideas for success Criterion 3.3.2
applied
not applied
place navigation bars in a consistent location whenever possible    
similar layout for user interface components should be used for sections or whole site    
similar user interface components should be labeled with similar terminology    
use headers consistently    
use templates for consistent presentation of sections or whole site    
pages with similar function should have similar appearance and layout    

Level 2 Success Criterion Pass Fail N/A
3.3.3 a conformance claim associated with the content asserts conformance to this checkpoint at level 2.
