1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence Supported When the sequence in which content is presented affects its meaning, a correct reading sequence can be programmatically determined.
1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics Supported Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, color, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.
1.3.4 Orientation Supported Content does not restrict its view and operation to a single display orientation, such as portrait or landscape.
1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose Supported The purpose of each input field collecting information about the user can be programmatically determined.
1.4.1 Use of Color Supported Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.

Principle 2: Operable.
User interface components and navigation must be operable.

CriteriaConformanceLevel Remarks & Explanations
2.1.1 Keyboard Supported All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes
2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap Supported Focus can be moved to a component of the content page using a keyboard interface and focus can be moved away from that component using only a keyboard interface.
2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts Not Applicable No Keyboard Shortcuts exist when consuming content.
2.2.1 Timing Adjustable Not Applicable Content does not time-out interface elements or content.
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide Not Applicable Content does not contain moving, blinking, scrolling, or auto-updating content that (1) starts automatically, (2) lasts more than five seconds, and (3) is presented in parallel with other content.

2.4.5 Multiple Ways Not Applicable Content does not contain multiple pages.
2.4.6 Headings and Labels Supported Headings and labels describe topic or purpose.
2.4.7 Focus Visible Supported Any keyboard operable user interface has a mode of operation where the keyboard focus indicator is visible when consuming the content.
