Re: Info needed on countries requiring ATAG compliance

However, a little confused by the question since ATAG compliance would be 
required for the tools producing the web content and not for the content 
itself.

Info needed on countries requiring ATAG compliance





Recently a question came up regarding ATAG compliance being required in 
the UK, and their latest Government guidelines requiring that all new 
Public Sector websites that are procured need to request WCAG compliance 
to "AA" AND ATAG compliance to "AA". 

Does anyone know of any other country policies that may be looking to 
adopt ATAG compliance?

Any input you can provide is appreciated.

Thank you,
