Reduce Accessibility Testing Effort Without Reducing Confidence

Discover how representative sampling can help agencies evaluate Section 508 conformance more efficiently while still uncovering systemic accessibility barriers across large ICT inventories.

Then use our sample size calculator to determine the appropriate testing scope for your inventory based on population size, desired confidence level, and margin of error.

Sample vs Comprehensive Conformance Testing

Our Mission

On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Access Board published a final rule updating accessibility requirements for information and communication technology (ICT) covered by Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Section 255 of the Communications Act.

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) is tasked under this law to provide technical assistance to help Federal agencies comply with these requirements, and ensure that covered ICT is accessible to, and usable by, individuals with disabilities.
