accessibility status · candidly stated

Designed for access. Not yet independently certified.

Certiv.org is built with semantic HTML, keyboard-operable navigation, visible focus, responsive layouts, text status labels, and reduced motion support. Automated browser accessibility checks are part of the release test suite.

Those measures do not establish WCAG conformance. Certiv currently has no independent accessibility audit, VPAT, or Accessibility Conformance Report.

What organizations should record.

Treat the current site as an accessibility-tested product, not an accessibility-certified product. Before broad institutional adoption, test the exact browsers, assistive technologies, documents, and deployment surfaces your users rely on.

The downloadable PDF in the worked example has not been claimed as a tagged, accessible publication. The HTML page and source packet provide the primary web-accessible path.
