# Accessibility Certification, Recognition, Badge, and Award Sources

Accesserty Signal organizes public accessibility certification, recognition, badge, and website-category award records. This page only explains certification-like public sources; accessibility statement sources are a separate public signal family.

## What this dataset does

This is not a global website ranking, a web accessibility certification issued by Accesserty, or an endorsement by Accesserty. It is a traceable index of certification-like public records that can make search-result accessibility signals more concrete.

Accesserty prioritizes public web accessibility certifications, badges, recognitions, and website-category awards from governments, delegated authorities, or trusted organizations, while keeping source, issuer, standard, level, date, and original links available for review.

## Source-family boundary

This page covers certification-like public sources: certifications, recognitions, badges, and website-category awards. It does not cover self-published accessibility statements, which are documented separately.

Accesserty does not issue these certifications, does not endorse the listed websites, and does not convert source records into whole-site accessibility guarantees.

## How to read a certification or badge record

Before relying on a web accessibility certification or badge, check what the original source actually published:

- Issuer: who published, tested, recognized, or awarded the record.
- Scope: whether it covers the whole domain, selected services, selected pages, apps, PDFs, or a sample.
- Standard and version: whether the source names WCAG, EN 301 549, local rules, levels, or testing methods.
- Date and validity: whether the record has an issue date, report date, expiry date, award year, or no public validity rule.
- Original source link: whether the record can be verified outside the website’s own badge image.

## Boundary with accessibility statement sources

This page does not list accessibility statement sources. Accessibility statements are self-published statement signals, not certifications, recognitions, badges, or awards.

## Limits

- Different pages or services under the same domain may still vary in accessibility quality.
- Some sources provide only a report date, not an explicit expiry date.
- Some sources test only selected pages, not every flow across a whole website.
- Machine scans, public badges, and accessibility statements do not replace manual review or assistive technology testing.
