Accessibility Evaluation Badge for Digital Experiences
Show your commitment to digital accessibility with an accessibility evaluation conducted by BarrierBreak. The Accessibility Evaluated badge provides a visible way to demonstrate that your website, application, or digital experience has undergone professional accessibility assessment.
Make Accessibility Progress Visible
Many organisations invest significantly in making websites, applications, and digital experiences more accessible. Yet much of that work remains invisible to customers, partners, procurement teams, and other stakeholders. The Accessibility Evaluated badge helps communicate those efforts through a recognised trust mark linked to a professional accessibility assessment.
What Does the
Badge Mean?
The Accessibility Evaluated by BarrierBreak badge indicates that a specific digital experience has undergone a professional accessibility assessment conducted by BarrierBreak. The badge demonstrates a commitment to accessibility improvement and inclusive digital experiences.
For transparency, the badge applies only to the evaluated digital property and should not be interpreted as certification, regulatory approval, or confirmation of full accessibility conformance.
