European Accessibility Act's WCAG version remains unclear

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) does not explicitly name WCAG 2.1 or WCAG 2.2, despite requiring Annex I compliance. The specific version of WCAG that will be referenced is determined by a harmonized standard, the reference for which will be published in the Official Journal. Choosing the higher version number does not automatically guarantee safer compliance. AI
