Identify the relevant accessibility field
The website describes work across different accessibility fields. Before looking for a requirement, identify whether your subject concerns buildings, transportation, information technology or another area, rather than applying one type of requirement to a different subject.

Find requirements, technical assistance and training
The agency's description identifies technical assistance and training among its activities and explains its enforcement role for accessibility standards applying to certain federally funded facilities. A specific question still requires checking the relevant document and applicable law.

Separate reference material from a compliance decision
Record the document title, subject, version date and passage you rely on. Requirements can differ by jurisdiction, subject and legal system; a similar name is not a reason to transfer a requirement without checking.
For a design, procurement or compliance decision, obtain suitable professional advice. This page is not legal advice or a finding that a product or design complies with a requirement.
