What is a Accessibility Certification Service?​

Accessibility certification is a formal recognition that your digital assets—like websites, documents, or applications—comply with established accessibility standards, such as WCAG (2.1/2.2). Unlike an audit or a one-time scan, certification includes validation by certified accessibility experts and often involves end-to-end evaluation, testing, and documentation.

How it’s different from audits or remediation:

  • An audit identifies accessibility issues.
  • Remediation resolves those issues.
  • Certification validates and documents that your content meets the required accessibility standards.

This third-party verification builds trust with clients, customers, regulators, and procurement teams—especially in government, education, and enterprise sectors.
