Most accessibility legislation mirrors the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This common benchmark not only coordinates compliance across jurisdictions but also simplifies implementation and empowers businesses to meet diverse legal requirements efficiently. Accessibility legislation examples include the European Accessibility Act (EAA) for the EU, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for the US, the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) for Canada, and the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and the Equality Act 2010 for the UK. Individual states and member states often create their localized accessibility legislation, which can create a complex compliance environment. By following the latest standard of WCAG, you can ensure compliance with most legislation. CTOs must understand their governing legislation and work with design leads to not only avoid fines and lawsuits but also to provide exceptional user experiences to all users.
