BS 8878
Also known as: British Standard 8878, Web Accessibility Code of Practice
A British Standard published in 2010 that provides a code of practice for web accessibility. BS 8878 defines a 16-step process for implementing web accessibility within organisations, taking a user-centred approach that goes beyond technical conformance with WCAG. It emphasises that products should be not only standards-conformant but also usable and satisfying for people with disabilities. The standard helps organisations integrate accessibility into their development lifecycle and establish policies that consider both user needs and business requirements.
