WCAG as the Common Foundation

All of these regulations reference WCAG 2.x Level AA as the technical standard for web accessibility. While the legal requirements and enforcement mechanisms differ, the underlying technical criteria are the same. By achieving WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance, you address the core requirements of all supported frameworks simultaneously.
