The PA website has been developed in compliance to the web accessibility guidelines, as described by the Web Accessibility Initiative: http://www.w3.org/TR/WAI-WEBCONTENT/

Priorities

Each checkpoint has a priority level assigned by the Working Group based on the checkpoint's impact on accessibility.

Priority 1
A Web content developer must satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it impossible to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint is a basic requirement for some groups to be able to use Web documents.

Priority 2
A Web content developer should satisfy this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will remove significant barriers to accessing Web documents.

Priority 3
A Web content developer may address this checkpoint. Otherwise, one or more groups will find it somewhat difficult to access information in the document. Satisfying this checkpoint will improve access to Web documents.

Some checkpoints specify a priority level that may change under certain (indicated) conditions.

Conformance

This section defines three levels of conformance to this document:

1. Conformance Level "A": all Priority 1 checkpoints are satisfied
2. Conformance Level "AA": all Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints are satisfied
3. Conformance Level "AAA": all Priority 1, 2, and 3 checkpoints are satisfied

The PA web portal has been developed in compliance to the Conformance level "AA".
