WACA certification

With this certificate, the WACA initiative strives for a very high level and outstanding quality of accessibility, which is why the most basic WCAG criteria must be met for successful certification. The auditors test according to a predefined scheme and their own testing methodology strictly according to these criteria. The WACA certificate is awarded at 3 different levels. For each WCAG success criterion, a separate grading for gold, silver and bronze has been defined. This means that websites that do not meet the highest WCAG requirements or are best practice, but have basic accessibility and do not exclude anyone from using the website, can also be awarded. For the Silver or Bronze grades, accessibility efforts must be clearly and unambiguously recognizable, see definition of WACA grades.

WACA certifies websites that can be narrowed down precisely, usually defined by a URL, and draws a representative sample (test sample) from this. However, the following content or functions of a website are generally excluded from the audit:

  • PDF
  • EPUB
  • Live transmitted time-based media
  • Content that is only available to a closed group of people and not to the general public (extranets and intranets).
  • external content from third-party providers that was neither financed nor developed by the website operator and is therefore not subject to its control (such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, external iframes and widgets, etc.), defined as follows:
    • Third-party content that cannot be interacted with (e.g. Facebook tracking pixels) is excluded from the check.
    • Third-party content that does not provide basic, central functionality of the page is excluded from the check.
    • Third-party content that provides additional information and is essential for users requires an alternative.
    • If a website consists largely of third-party content, certification is rejected and the order is not accepted. Website is not auditable in this case.
  • Online maps and map services, but these must have an accessible alternative.
  • Google Captcha (ReCaptcha V2): Only valid for WACA quality levels Silver and Bronze.

General Comment of the Certification Authority:

Das Checkin-Tool für Studierende und Lehrende der WU-Wien wurde auf Basis des Staging-Systems http://checkin-stg.wu.ac.at/ in deutscher und englischer Sprache über einen WU-Testaccount auf Web Accessibility nach WCAG 2.2 A und AA überprüft. Aufgrund der sehr ähnlichen Template-Struktur aller eingesehenen Seiten (Testsample) und aufgrund dessen, dass es sich im Hintergrund um eine dynamische Applikation handelt, wird von den geprüften Templates auf die gesamte Anwendung geschlossen.

Bei den getesteten Templates ist eine optimale Barrierefreiheit erkennbar und es wurden zum Testzeitpunkt keine Abweichungen zu den WCAG-Richtlinien festgestellt. Die Website erfüllt daher alle WCAG 2.2 AA - Erfolgskriterien. Es kann daher die höchste WACA-Einstufung in Gold vergeben werden. Keine Anmerkungen beim Testsample im Prüfbericht unten bedeuten, dass zum Prüfzeitpunkt keine Abweichungen zur WCAG 2.2 - AA vorhanden waren. Die Grundfunktionalitäten der Anwendung sind für alle BenutzerInnen uneingeschränkt zugänglich.
