Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Wilmington PLC is fully conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Fully conformant means that the content fully conforms to the accessibility standard without any exceptions.

Additional accessibility considerations

Our goal is to meet and exceed the requirements of WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance and we have applied some Level 3 success criteria where images of text are only used for decorative purposes and re-authentication after a session expires does not cause a loss of any data input by our users.
