  1. Activate the screen reader.
  2. Validate the form without entering any data in order to identify the mandatory fields.
  3. For each mandatory field, check that
    • the information rendered by the screen reader when focused on the field contains the required nature;
    • and a visible indication near the field indicates that the form field is mandatory.
  4. If the visible indication is made in a non-textual way (icon, '*', '!', etc.), the explanation of the meaning of this indication is placed visually, and in the reading order, before the first use of the indication.
  5. If this is the case, the criterion is validated.
