Epic Form Criteria: Section 508

The 2017 Section 508 Refresh (effective Jan 2018) updated U.S. federal accessibility standards to better align with modern technology and international standards. It shifted from product-based to functional requirements, incorporating WCAG 2.0 Level AA guidelines for web content and Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Key goals included improving accessibility for people with disabilities, harmonizing with global standards, and ensuring compliance for hardware, software, and electronic content.
