WCAG 3.0 is an active W3C Working Draft in development by the AGWG. Requirements, assertions, the conformance model and reporting tiers are still being developed and may change. The latest published draft is the 10 September 2026 Working Draft; this site follows the editors’ draft, which also includes exploratory provisions.
An organisational assertion: the organisation states that its authors run usability testing and ethics reviews to reduce the chance that algorithms disadvantage disabled people.
Why It Matters
