I didn’t try my very hardest to find a list of all of the new Success Criteria in Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) that were not a part of WCAG 2.0, but if there is such a list, it’s not easy to find.
And given the formatting for WCAG 2.0, it’s not all that easy to make such a list, either. But in case this is helpful to anyone, here are the seventeen new Success Criteria in WCAG 2.1, which became a W3C Recommendation in June 2018, with links to each criterion in the specification:
1: Perceivable
-
1.3: Adaptable
- 1.3.4: Orientation
- 1.3.5: Identify Input Purpose
- 1.3.6: Identify Purpose
-
1.4: Distinguishable
- 1.4.10: Reflow
- 1.4.11: Non-text Contrast
- 1.4.12: Text Spacing
- 1.4.13: Content on Hover or Focus
2: Operable
-
2.1: Keyboard Accessible
- 2.1.4: Character Key Shortcuts
-
2.2: Enough Time
- 2.2.6: Timeouts
-
2.3: Seizures and Physical Reactions
- 2.3.3: Animation from Interactions
-
2.5: Input Modalities
- 2.5.1: Pointer Gestures
- 2.5.2: Pointer Cancellation
- 2.5.3: Label in Name
- 2.5.4: Motion Actuation
- 2.5.5: Target Size
- 2.5.6: Concurrent Input Mechanisms
4: Robust
-
4.1: Compatible
- 4.1.3: Status Messages
Note that Section 2.5: Input Modalities is the only entirely new section, and that there were no additional Success Criteria added under Section 3:Understandable.
