Compliance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at AA level is the declared goal.

This standard, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and combined with the recommendations of the Accessible Platform Architectures (APA), highly raises the bar for accessibility.
