WCAG 2.1 extends WCAG 2.0 with additional success criteria that improve coverage for mobile accessibility, people with low vision, and people with cognitive and learning disabilities while retaining the same four principles and conformance levels.
Standards and scope
The voiqq WCAG 2.1 library includes applicable WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 criteria through the selected A, AA, or AAA target. WCAG 2.2-only criteria remain outside the project and report scope.
- Level A includes all WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 criteria assigned to Level A.
- Level AA includes applicable Levels A and AA from WCAG 2.0 and 2.1.
- Level AAA includes applicable Levels A, AA, and AAA from WCAG 2.0 and 2.1.
- Version-sensitive automation filters axe-core candidate mappings before they enter the project.
- The VPAT snapshot and DOCX renderer use the WCAG 2.1 configuration and template.
Who this is for
- Accessibility learners progressing from WCAG 2.0 into mobile and broader user-needs coverage.
- Professional auditors working under a policy or contract that names WCAG 2.1.
- Product teams assessing responsive web and mobile web experiences.
- Schools, public bodies, vendors, and procurement teams reviewing a WCAG 2.1 requirement.
What voiqq provides
- Canonical inherited and WCAG 2.1-specific requirements without WCAG 2.2 leakage.
- Manual findings, structured imports, axe-core candidates, assignments, evidence, and retest history.
- Project-level A, AA, or AAA filtering across forms, requirement choices, automation, and reporting.
- Deterministic conformance resolution that accounts for active versus resolved findings.
- Reviewable WCAG 2.1 VPAT or ACR snapshots and template-preserving DOCX downloads.
A practical workflow
- Set WCAG 2.1 and the required target level when creating the project.
- Identify representative pages, responsive states, input methods, and user flows.
- Test manually and validate any automation candidates against the actual experience.
- Map findings accurately, coordinate remediation, and preserve retest evidence.
- Select WCAG 2.1 during report review and approve every generated conformance row.
Put the framework into practice
A WCAG 2.1 project keeps historic or contract-specific work accurate while giving teams the same modern finding, collaboration, and reporting workflow used by other voiqq libraries.
