WCAG 2.0 Checklist
Roger Hudson, February 2009
This checklist has been prepared to help website developers and testers record the level of website compliance with the Success Criteria and Sufficient Techniques of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Version 2.0 (WCAG 2.0).
The worksheet has been prepared as series of tables in a Word document. Each table contains a WCAG 2.0 Guideline, the normative Success Criteria for the Guideline at Level AAA and the informative Sufficient Techniques for each Success Criterion.
The Success Criteria and Sufficient Techniques are presented in table rows so that the document can be easily modified by users to meet differing situations. For example, to convert the document into a Level A worksheet, delete the Level AA and AAA Success Criteria and associated Sufficient Techniques. Similarly, for each Success Criterion the rows containing Sufficient Techniques that do not apply can be deleted.
I apologise for the lack of an accessible equivalent alternative and hope to make a HTML version available in the future. Please feel free to improve, modify and use the table as you wish.
