Web Accessibility Accreditation for Government & School Websites

Taiwan's Persons with Disabilities Rights Protection Act was amended in February 2011 to require accessible public information, and the Ministry of Digital Affairs (formerly National Communications Commission) followed with a formal Website Accessibility Standard based on W3C WCAG 2.0, effective 15 February 2017 and revised in July 2021 (version 110.07).
Every government agency and public school website must pass a four-tier accreditation process — Level 1 (A), A+, Level 2 (AA) and Level 3 (AAA) — combining automated scanning with the government's own Freego checker tool and manual expert review. Accreditation badges are valid for three years, after which sites must be re-tested to keep displaying them.
Independent confirmation comes from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative's own policy tracker, which lists Taiwan's scheme as a mandatory, public-sector-wide WCAG 2.1-derivative policy. Neither MODA's own site nor the W3C listing publishes an aggregate pass-rate or number of accredited sites in English, so this entry is scored conservatively on measured evidence: the mandate's legal durability and universal public-sector scope are well documented, but outcome data (how many sites actually hold a current badge, at what level) is not publicly quantified in the sources available.
