Official methodology to test criterion 10.6
Test 1 (10.6.1)
- Find in the document link type elements (
<a>element or element with a WAI-ARIArole="link"attribute). - For each link element, if it can be confused with normal text when indicated by colour alone, check that the contrast between the font colour of the link and the font colour of the surrounding text is at least 3:1.
- This check must be carried out for the different states of the link if they are presented using a different colour: the unvisited state, the visited state, the activated state, the hover state and the state when focused.
- If this is the case for each element of the link type, the test is validated.
