RGAA (France)

France's Référentiel Général d'Amélioration de l'Accessibilité, the official technical framework used to audit and certify the accessibility of French public and increasingly private digital services.

The RGAA (General Reference Framework for Improving Accessibility) is France’s detailed accessibility testing methodology, maintained by the French government’s digital directorate and built around WCAG. It defines specific test criteria, verification techniques, and a conformance rating used in official French accessibility audits and statements.

French public administrations, and private organizations above a certain size or revenue threshold under France’s implementation of the European Accessibility Act, are required to publish an accessibility statement referencing their RGAA conformance level and a roadmap for closing any gaps.
