2.4.1 — Bypass Blocks

Level A Operable

Operational summary

IF blocks repeat across pages, provide a way to skip them. Exercise the actual bypass destination and keyboard behavior rather than recording only the existence of a skip-link element.

This is an original implementation summary, not replacement normative text. The sources below supply the precise requirement, its definitions and its qualifications.

Primary sources

• Normative text — W3C WCAG 2.2 Recommendation

Registry record

Applicability and assessment start unset by design — no product has been evaluated. Instantiate the entry for an actual product, assign an owner and retain evidence.
