ITIC: EN 301 549 and forthcoming WCAG 2.2 SC guidance
W3C/WAI WCAG 2.1 was adopted into EN 301 549 V2.1.2 in 2018. Meanwhile, W3C is nearing finalisation of WCAG 2.2. An updated Candidate Recommendation was published 17 May 2023.
Concurrently, the WCAG2ICT Task Force has been developing updates to its success criteria guidance that will address WCAG 2.2. The expectation is it will be completed in time for incorporation into a revised EN 301 549.
Given the above, ITIC recommends that, when adding new clauses for WCAG 2.2 criteria, STF 614 consider including the forthcoming interpretation guidance from the WGAG2ICT Task Force.
