Section 508 Checklist

Track your Section 508 compliance

Section 508 sets requirements that applies to US federal agencies and often their contractors, and meeting them means working through many specific obligations. This interactive checklist helps you track your Section 508 progress, so you can see what is done, what remains, and where the gaps are rather than holding it all in your head.

What the checklist covers

It covers the accessibility requirements for electronic content under Section 508, which align with recognised web accessibility guidelines, across the relevant success criteria. Working through a structured checklist is far more reliable than an ad hoc review, because it ensures each requirement is considered rather than only the ones you happen to remember. It turns a large, intimidating regulation into a concrete list of things to confirm, which is exactly how compliance work is made manageable.

A tool, not legal advice

This is a practical aid for understanding and tracking requirements, not legal advice, and regulations change and vary by circumstance. Confirm your obligations with a qualified professional before relying on any assessment. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded, which matters when the input describes your compliance posture.
