Official methodology to test criterion 1.6

Test 1 (1.6)

iOS and Android
  1. Identify the graphic elements conveying information on the screen that require a detailed description (see glossary note on the particularities of rendering). For example
    • graphic elements for which the alternative to be provided is too long (more than one sentence, for example) or requires structuring (headings, lists or tables);
    • graphic elements which combine several issues (information through colour, text graphic element, contrasts, etc.) such as graphs or maps.
  2. Check for
    • the presence of a clearly identifiable detailed description adjacent to the graphic element;
    • or the presence of a function (a button, a link) providing access to a detailed description.
  3. If not, activate the screen reader and navigate to the graphic element.
  4. Check that the screen reader displays a detailed description.
  5. If it does, the criterion is validated.
