websites that provide information to the general public. Online approval systems,
online attendance spreadsheets, other internal management systems, restricted or
backend systems and password-protected systems that are restricted to the general
public are not within the scope of accessibility verification, and there are no

internal networks is difficult and typically requires manual testing. Internal

The NCC recommends that departments carry out internal compliance reviews. The NCC commented
that the National Archives Administration of the NDC had announced accessibility verification

that government agencies and institutions refer to the aforementioned promotion methods to ensure
that their document systems meet accessibility requirements.
