Official methodology to test criterion 13.8
Test 1 (13.8.1)
- Find moving content in the document (obtained using an image, script or CSS effect) triggered automatically when the page is loaded or when content is displayed (see note).
- For each content item, check that
- either the duration of the movement is less than 5 seconds;
- or there is a mechanism (a button, for example) to stop and restart the movement;
- or either the presence of a mechanism (such as a button) means that the moving content can be hidden and displayed again;
- or the presence of a mechanism (e.g. a button) enables the entire content to be displayed without movement.
- If this is the case for each piece of moving content, the test is validated.
Test 2 (13.8.2)
- Find blinking content in the document (obtained using an image, a script or a CSS effect) triggered automatically when the page is loaded or when content is displayed (see note).
- For each content item, check that
- either the blinking time is less than 5 seconds;
- there is a mechanism (a button, for example) to stop and restart the blinking;
- or the presence of a mechanism (a button, for example) means that the blinking content can be hidden and displayed again;
- or a mechanism (such as a button) can be used to display all the blinking content.
- If this is the case for each blinking content item, the test is validated.
Note: Stopping or pausing moving or blinking content by means of when focused (for example, the effect is only suspended when focused) is not considered a compliant process. In some cases, movement cannot be stopped, for example in the case of a progress bar, in which case the criterion is not applicable.
