The much-anticipated update to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 (WCAG 2.2) has been released as a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation. The announcement was made by the W3C’s Accessibility Guidelines Working Group on October 5, 2023.

Below are the new Level A and AA success criteria that are introduced in the new recommended guidelines:

 

The primary focus of the new criteria in WCAG 2.2 is to enhance the user experience by improving accessibility in navigation and interaction. In a recent blog post, we provided an overview of the updated guidelines, offering examples for each success criterion.

It’s worth noting that over 80% of all the Web Accessibility Laws & Policies enacted across the globe, and 100% of the accessibility laws in major economies like the USA, European Union, Canada, Australia, in the last decade are based on WCAG recommended guidelines (WCAG2.0) or a derivative of WCAG2.0. Interestingly the UK Government’s digital accessibility guidance has already updated its guidance referring to WCAG2.2 for websites and mobile apps.

Countries around the world are prioritizing accessibility and inclusivity in all aspects of life. As a result, content publishers, including those of books and digital learning resources, must swiftly ensure their content meets accessibility standards.
