Make essential user journeys accessible in practice
WA evaluates the accessibility of a website through expert and user assessment. Prepare the live service, representative journeys and evidence of corrections, not just automated scan results.

Discuss your certification →Scope and applicability
Korean information and communications accessibility quality certification
Accessibility and non-discrimination duties are distinct from obtaining a voluntary certification mark. A procurement contract may specifically require the mark.
Korean certification schemes and international standards are different. A translated guide does not extend a Korean certificate to other countries. Confirm the target market, product classification and current requirements with the relevant body.
Who this is for
- Organizations operating public-facing websites
- Teams meeting Korean procurement accessibility conditions
- Product teams improving keyboard and assistive technology access
Documents to prepare

Track alternative text, headings, form labels, keyboard issues and corrections.
User test scenarios
Provide accounts and data for completing tasks using screen readers and keyboards.
Preparation process

Improve expert and user journeys
Supplement automated checks with actual keyboard and assistive technology testing.

Questions and answers
Is the WA mark always legally required?
Accessibility obligations do not imply a universal duty to obtain the mark.
Is passing an automated scan enough?
No. Expert and user testing address usability and interaction issues automated tools may miss.
Can we redesign the site without review?
Check the certified scope and current compliance, and discuss major changes with the body.
