* [How to Meet WCAG (Quick Reference)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/quickref/)
* [Mobile Accessibility: How WCAG 2.0 and other W3C/WAI Guidelines Apply to Mobile](https://w3c.github.io/Mobile-A11y-TF-Note/) - This draft resource, as of the date of the WCAG2ICT Note publication, is undergoing an update by the Mobile Accessibility Task Force to cover WCAG 2.2.

While WCAG 2 was designed to be technology-neutral, it assumes the presence of a “user agent” such as a browser, media player, or assistive technology as a means to access web content. Therefore, the application of WCAG 2 to documents and software in non-web contexts necessitates some interpretation in order to determine how the intent of each WCAG 2 success criterion could be met in these different contexts of use. Therefore, the bulk of the Task Force's work involved evaluating how each WCAG 2 success criterion would apply in the context of non-web ICT, if it were applied to non-web ICT.

Therefore, the bulk of the Task Force's work involved evaluating how each WCAG 2 success criterion would apply in the context of non-web ICT, if it were applied to non-web ICT.

The Task Force found that the majority of success criteria from WCAG 2 can be applied to non-web documents and software with either no or minimal changes. Since many of the Level A and AA success criteria do not include any web-related terms, they apply directly as written and as described in the “Intent” sections from the [Understanding WCAG 2.2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/) \[\[UNDERSTANDING-WCAG22\]\] resource. Additional notes were provided, as needed, to provide assistance in applying them to non-web documents and software.
