EWG:Draft Oct 26 With Limited Vision

1.1-B - With Limited Vision

This page is the text proposed in the Nov Plenary Meeting.

Go to the current version in the Oct 26 Draft

Go to the Sandbox of this Provision


Proposed text in Oct 26 draft:
Products must provide at least one mode that allows access to all functionality of the product visually without requiring visual acuity greater than 20/70. This access may be provided directly or through assistive technology.


Comments from CSD/Trace Center
Change to "without requiring visual acuity better than 20/70 and without relying on audio output."

Rationale: If audio is not eliminated as a solution – then 1.1B is always satisfied by 1.1A. 20/70 is used instead of the 20/200 to harmonize 508 and 255.
