Labels

Digital accessibility awards

The “Accessibility Ranking” module presents sites and apps based on the score determined by an assessment.

If the website or app has undergone a full audit and its score reaches or exceeds 70% overall compliance, it can be awarded a label:

Bronze

• if it achieves at least 70% overall compliance;
• and if it achieves at least 70% compliance at Level A.

Silver

• if it achieves at least 80% overall compliance;
• and if it achieves at least 80% compliance at Level A.

Gold

• if it achieves at least 90% overall compliance;
• and if it achieves at least 90% compliance at Level A.

Platinum

• if it achieves 100% overall compliance;
• and if no disproportionate burden on PDFs or authentication is included in the statement.

Validity

A label is valid within the framework of an assessment campaign, meaning it is valid for the year in which the assessment was conducted.

The “Accessibility Awards” module presents the awards for the current campaign and the previous year.

A website or app that has obtained a label is entitled to display it on its website, specifying the label obtained and the year in which it was obtained.

    • Criterion 13.7: On each web page, are sudden changes in brightness or blinking used correctly?
    • Criterion 13.8: On each web page, is every moving or blinking content controllable by the user?
  • For mobile applications, the RAAM criteria:
    • Criterion 3.12: Is each automatically triggered sound sequence controllable by the user?
