eMAG

The Brazilian government's digital accessibility model (Modelo de Acessibilidade em Governo Eletrônico) that provides mandatory guidelines for how government websites must ensure accessibility and eliminate access barriers. Based on WCAG 2.0, eMAG covers all Level A and AA success criteria plus some AAA criteria, but unlike WCAG it has no conformance levels — all recommendations are mandatory. Following eMAG places a page at the equivalent of WCAG 2.0 AA conformance. It is an important example of how countries adapt international accessibility standards to their local regulatory context.
