Las Pautas de Accesibilidad del W3C (WCAG) 3.0 (W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0) será la próxima versión de las pautas de accesibilidad del contenido en la Web del World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
Su estado actual es "borrador de trabajo" (W3C Editor's Draft 18 November 2020) y se espera que esté finalizado después de 2022.
El nombre de estas pautas ha sufrido un cambio muy importante, para reflejar el hecho de que se pueden aplicar a diferentes tipos de contenido, no solo al contenido web.
En el resumen pone:
W3C Accessibility Guidelines 3.0 is a successor to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 [WCAG22] and previous versions, but does not deprecate these versions. WCAG 3.0 will incorporate content from and partially extend User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 [UAAG20] and Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 [ATAG20]. While there is a lot of overlap between WCAG 2.X and WCAG 3.0, WCAG 3.0 includes additional tests and different scoring mechanisms. As a result, WCAG 3.0 is not backwards compatible with WCAG 2.X. WCAG 3.0 does not supersede WCAG 2.2 and previous versions; rather, it is an alternative set of guidelines. Once these guidelines become a W3C Recommendation, the W3C will advise developers, content creators and policy makers to use WCAG 3.0 in order to maximize future applicability of accessibility efforts. However, content that conforms to earlier versions of WCAG continue to conform to those versions.
