From WCAG 2.1 to the European Accessibility Act and Italy’s Legge Stanca: the rules for an internet accessible to all.
Three key regulatory references define digital accessibility in Italy and across Europe today — alongside the UK’s Equality Act 2010 and PSBAR 2018. With our in-house tools and human auditors, we help you comply with them all.
The WCAG 2.1 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) are part of a set of international recommendations developed by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These guidelines define the technical criteria for making web content accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.
EU Directive 2016/2102, known as the Web Accessibility Directive, requires member states to ensure that the websites and digital applications of public bodies (and, in part, private ones) meet specific accessibility standards. This legislation sits within the broader framework of the European Accessibility Act, which promotes equal access to digital technologies across the European Union.
In Italy, digital accessibility is governed by Law 4/2004, known as the Legge Stanca (Stanca Act). Coordination and implementation are entrusted to AgID (the Agency for Digital Italy), which defines the technical requirements and procedures for making websites and IT services accessible to people with disabilities.
Each country adopts its own standards, almost always based on the WCAG: here is the international reference framework.
