The publication of WCAG 2.2 does not deprecate or supersede WCAG 2.0 or WCAG 2.1. The WG intends that for policies requiring conformance to WCAG 2.0 or WCAG 2.1, WCAG 2.2 can provide an alternate means of conformance. Content that conforms to WCAG 2.2 also conforms to WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1. WCAG 2.2 extends Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, which was published as a W3C Recommendation June 2018. See Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview for an introduction and links to WCAG technical and educational material. Guidance about satisfying the success criteria in specific technologies, as well as general information about interpreting the success criteria, is provided in separate documents. WCAG 2.2 success criteria are written as testable statements that are not technology-specific.
