What does the W3C’s upcoming ACT standard mean for accessibility?
Summary
One of the challenges organizations face when they are first introduced to accessibility is finding the right tools and services. Many organizations promise cheap and easy solutions that are based on rulesets they created. There are several initiatives underway to improve the transparency, consistency, and quality of standards in the digital accessibility industry. For example, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Trusted Tester Program aims to provide consistent testing, tooling, and reporting methodologies for Section 508. Yesterday, the W3C announced that the Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format is going into the last phase before becoming a W3C standard.
