Questions About Long-term Accessibility Strategy
How will the accessibility landscape change in coming years?
Answer
The W3C is working on WCAG 3.0, which pursues a fundamentally new approach to evaluating accessibility: instead of binary pass/fail assessments per criterion a continuous scoring model will be introduced. WCAG 3.0 is currently in draft stage, adoption is not expected before 2027. EN 301 549 will foreseeably be updated to WCAG 2.2 soon. Companies implementing WCAG 2.2 AA today are therefore well positioned.
