WCAG
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are technical accessibility guidelines. When commissioning work, ask for the exact version and level being evaluated. A service page mentioning WCAG does not establish that your product conforms.
WCAG-EM
The Website Accessibility Conformance Evaluation Methodology describes an evaluation approach. It is not a separate accessibility certification or conformance level.
VPAT and ACR
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template is a reporting template. A completed Accessibility Conformance Report records a product’s accessibility evaluation. Ask about version, scope, date, evaluator and evidence.
Manual testing and assistive technology
Manual evaluation can examine barriers automated tools cannot fully assess. Assistive-technology testing should specify the tools, versions and user journeys. These terms alone do not establish depth or quality.
Conformance and legal requirements
A scoped evaluation is not a general guarantee of legal compliance. US-oriented references such as Section 508 or ADA do not establish Australian legal compliance. Seek current authoritative guidance and appropriate advice for your context.
Future standards claims
Treat forward-looking marketing separately from established conformance claims. This directory does not present WCAG 3.0 compatibility as certification.
