accessibility requirements
Disability inclusion mandates
Accessibility requirements are standards or specifications ensuring that products, services, or environments can be used by people with disabilities.
In web development and software, these typically mandate features like screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and sufficient color contrast: The new site must meet WCAG accessibility requirements.
Buildings have their own accessibility requirements—ramps, elevator access, braille signage.
The term appears in legal contexts where compliance is mandatory and in design contexts where it guides inclusive practice.
