To make sure products are accessible to everyone, we are committed to being compliant with level AA for all of our components.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2(opens in a new tab) developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), are a set of guidelines which purpose is to provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible:
- Level A
Addresses the most critical barriers—such as basic keyboard operability—without which navigation would be impossible for many users.
- Level AAour target standard
This level optimizes readability and interaction reliability for the general public and meets the legal requirements for digital products.
- Level AAA
The highest tier with specialized requirements, such as sign language interpretation, typically relevant for specific government agencies or dedicated target groups.

Among other things, we mainly focus on the following key principles for our design system:
- ARIA Patterns
If applicable, our components are implemented following their official ARIA Pattern(opens in a new tab). This ensures that known and established design and functional patterns are used that the user is already familiar with.
- Assistive technology
We guarantee keyboard support for all our components and provide additional context for screen readers where needed. Accessibility and descriptive properties are required, not optional.
- Color contrast
We are aiming to use only high contrast colors so text is well readable in any condition and components are clearly visible. To learn more, please visit our Colors & Themes documentation.

To ensure that our components are accessible to everyone, we perform automated accessibility testing(opens in a new tab) for all our components across all component variations and states.
