+# 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics
+
+- Level: A
+- Guideline: 1.3 Adaptable
+- Principle: 1 Perceivable
+
+## What it is
+
+Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, color, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.
+
+## How to test
+
+- Check: Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, color, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.
+- Use the sufficient techniques below as acceptable methods when applicable.
+- Confirm none of the common failures apply.
+
+## Sufficient techniques (W3C)
+
+- G96: Providing textual identification of items that otherwise rely only on sensory information to be understood
+
+## Common failures (W3C)
+
+- F14: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.3 due to identifying content only by its shape or location
+- F26: Failure of Success Criterion 1.3.3 due to using a graphical symbol alone to convey information
+
+## Notes
+
+- Note: For requirements related to color, refer to Guideline 1.4.
