Set an enterprise accessibility target with clear scope
Distinguish a technical target, applicable obligations, and the evidence needed to support claims.
Starter draft for review. Use as a conversation or planning aid.
Define an explicit technical target
Record the standard, version, level, product scope, and review approach. W3C encourages using the latest WCAG version; WCAG 2.2 Level AA can be an organizational target for web content. Agree the target with the people authorized to set policy and contract requirements.
Confirm obligations for your business
DOJ guidance states that the ADA applies to the goods and services businesses open to the public offer on the web. Applicable duties can also depend on market, service, contracts, and other laws. Confirm the requirements with the organization's authorized legal, policy, and accessibility leads.
The state and local government Title II dates shown elsewhere on this site are not a universal enterprise deadline. Employee access and individual support processes also need appropriate organizational ownership.
Make claims match the evidence
State what was reviewed, which version and tasks were included, methods used, and known limits. A planning worksheet, scanner score, vendor report, or checked component alone does not establish whole-product conformance.
