Accessibility Testing — quiz

A government website must meet legal accessibility requirements. The organisation targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance. A designer argues Level AAA is more ethical; a developer argues Level A is sufficient. What is the correct position?

• Level A is the legal standard for most jurisdictions and is sufficient for public sector compliance
• Level AA is the internationally recognised standard referenced by most accessibility laws (ADA, EN 301 549, EAA) — it balances strong accessibility with practical implementation. AAA includes requirements that cannot be universally applied
• Level AAA is the only ethical choice for a public service regardless of implementation difficulty
• WCAG compliance is voluntary guidance with no legal standing in any jurisdiction
