eMAG (Brazil)

Brazil's Modelo de Acessibilidade em Governo Eletrônico, a mandatory accessibility model for federal government websites, organized into 45 recommendations across six categories.

eMAG (the Electronic Government Accessibility Model) is Brazil’s official accessibility framework for federal government digital services, currently at version 3.1. It organizes 45 concrete recommendations across six areas: markup, behavior, content, presentation, multimedia, and forms, and compliance has been mandatory for Brazilian federal websites since a 2007 ordinance.

Unlike WCAG, eMAG does not use conformance levels; applicable recommendations are expected to be followed in full rather than partially, which makes it a stricter, less flexible standard for the government sites it covers.
