Disclaimer
WCAG 2 has been designed to be more testable than its predecessor, WCAG 1.0. However, while some tests can be accurately performed with automated testing, some require a combination of automated tools and human judgement, and others rely solely on human review by knowledgeable website assessors. In such cases, there is always a possibility that results may be disputed among assessors. Every reasonable effort has been made to cross-check findings and ensure the validity of the results presented to mitigate the likelihood of oversights. However, due to the human element of website evaluation, errors may, on occasion, occur. These errors, should they have happened, should not materially affect the information or conclusions outlined in the results presented.
