Clause 4 to 9: The mobile user assistance process

ISO/IEC/IEEE DIS 26517 9: Accessible UA for a mobile application

What does 9 require?

Clause 9 makes accessibility a property of the help itself, with a specific duty to give a text description of an image. The public contents gives accessibility its own clause, which is a stronger signal than a sentence inside the design clause. It has a general statement and one specific subclause on the text description of an image. That specific duty is the most concrete accessibility requirement visible in the public record, and it lands on the illustrations and screenshots that clause 7.4 already brings into the help. The general subclause is likely to carry the wider expectation: the help must be perceivable, operable and understandable with the assistive technology people actually use. The draft does not name a test method in the free preview, and this site does not invent one. Our preparation uses WCAG 2.2 AA as a working benchmark, labelled as ours, not as a claim about the draft.
