What reason should I give in the accessibility generator for an error if I am unsure?

This article explains how to choose the appropriate reason for missing accessibility in the generator and what the available options mean.

Recommendation for selecting the reason for missing accessibility in the generator 

If you are unsure which reason to select for missing accessibility in the generator, the most commonly used option is 'Incompatibility with existing guidelines'.

What does this mean?

With this selection, you are stating: "Part of our offering does not currently comply with the applicable accessibility guidelines."

Example wording

Example wording: "We have identified accessibility issue X on our site because this element does not yet meet the requirements of [applicable guideline]."

What about the other reasons?

The other options in the generator (e.g., "Disproportionate burden," "Exception according to law") may apply depending on your specific situation. The correct classification depends on your organisation's circumstances, applicable national law, and the nature of the content or functionality in question.

Important: The selection of the appropriate legal justification for non-compliance is the sole responsibility of the website operator. This article explains only how to use the generator's interface.
