|
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
