Accessibility Certification and Badge Sources
Accesserty Signal organizes public accessibility certification and badge records so people can notice trusted accessibility signals directly in search results.
What this dataset does
This is not a global website ranking or an endorsement by Accesserty. It is a traceable index of public certification records that can make search-result accessibility signals more concrete.
- Prioritize public web accessibility badge data from governments, delegated authorities, or trusted organizations.
- Keep source, issuer, standard, level, date, and original links available for review.
- Let Accesserty Signal show trusted certification records before falling back to accessibility statements.
Limits to understand
Certification systems, standard versions, validity rules, and badge levels differ by country and organization. Signal treats these as published certification signals, not universal guarantees.
- 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.

How Signal uses this data
On search result pages, Signal checks signals in order so trusted sources appear first.
- Accesserty ALLY: the active maintenance list maintained by Accesserty, shown first.
- Certified: public certification records from the government or trusted sources on this page.
- Accessibility statement: checked only when no certification record is found.
- When none of these trusted signals match, Signal shows no badge — it does not fall back to a machine score.
