Conformance requirements and conformance claims – WCAG 2.2

WCAG 2.2 5.2.1: Conformance level

Conformance is met in full at one level: Level A means every Level A criterion is satisfied (or a conforming alternate version exists); Level AA means every A and AA criterion; Level AAA means every A, AA and AAA criterion. The Recommendation advises against requiring AAA as a general site-wide policy.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 4 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • 35.200(b)(1) 35.200(b)(1) Conform to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA from 26 April 2027 (population 50,000 or more)
  • 35.200(b)(2) 35.200(b)(2) Conform to WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA from 26 April 2028 (population under 50,000 and special districts)
  • 35.202 35.202 Use conforming alternate versions only where direct access is impossible

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
