WCAG 2.0 AA Compliance
Section 2.2.1
For each time limit that is set by the content, at least one of the following is true:
- Turn off: The user is allowed to turn off the time limit before encountering it
- Adjust: The user is allowed to adjust the time limit before encountering it over a wide range that is at least ten times the length of the default setting
- Extend: The user is warned before time expires and given at least 20 seconds to extend the time limit with a simple action (for example, "press the space bar"), and the user is allowed to extend the time limit at least ten times
- Real-time Exception: The time limit is a required part of a real-time event (for example, an auction), and no alternative to the time limit is possible
- Essential Exception: The time limit is essential and extending it would invalidate the activity
- 20 Hour Exception: The time limit is longer than 20 hours.
If you are creating a web-based program with a time-limit, your knowledge should be adequate in conforming to this section. You should ensure that the method of achieving the above specifications is also accessible.
