Official methodology to test criterion 13.5

Test 1 (13.5.1)

  1. Find in the document the cryptic content conveying information.
  2. For each cryptic content, check that
    • Either its meaning is given in the adjacent context (immediately before or after).
    • Or its meaning is made available by a method compatible with accessibility, for example, the cryptic content is included in a link whose accessible name is defined by the aria-label property, which contains the meaning of the cryptic content.
  3. If this is the case for each cryptic content, the test is validated.

Test 2 (13.5.2)

  1. Find in the document the cryptic content.
  2. For each cryptic content, check that
    • Either the cryptic content is embedded in a tag that has a WAI-ARIA aria-hidden="true" attribute.
    • Or a parent tag of the cryptic content has a WAI-ARIA aria-hidden="true" attribute.
  3. If this is the case for each cryptic content, the test is validated.
