Show that you have passed SiteNorma’s checks

The accessibility seal is a badge for your website footer. It links to a verifiable public page that states what was checked. It is not a WCAG certification and does not declare that your website meets the standard.

What the seal is

It is a badge (round or horizontal) with the SiteNorma mark, the text “Accessibility · Analysis passed” and the date of the latest review. Anyone who sees it can open a public page with the website name and domain, the seal status, the date and the scope of what was checked.

It states exactly what SiteNorma checked. It does not say that the website is “100 % accessible” or that it is certified.

SiteNorma round blue seal: Accessibility, Analysis passed and the date of the latest review.

It is not a certification

The seal does not prove legal compliance and does not replace a full evaluation. It reports SiteNorma’s checks (automated analysis and recorded manual reviews) and their scope. Conformance is determined by your full evaluation.

Shapes, styles and statuses

You choose shape (round or horizontal), style (blue, white or black) and language. If a requirement is no longer met, the badge becomes suspended and says so live.

When you can activate it

All four requirements must be met at the same time. The accessibility statement is a separate recommendation: it does not count among those four, but the dashboard reminds you to publish it on your website.

  1. Verified ownership. You have shown that the website is yours (meta tag, DNS or file).
  2. Full analysis. There is a completed full analysis (up to 50 pages, desktop and mobile) with every page analysed. A quick scan or a single-page analysis is not enough.
  3. No pending high-priority problems. The latest full analysis leaves no pending high-priority problems. Items discarded with justification, and those a favourable check no longer detects, do not count.
  4. Manual reviews done. Every applicable manual check on the website has a recorded review, and no pending manual finding is high priority. A favourable automated check does not close a manual criterion.

Active or suspended, live

  • Active: the requirements are met. The date of the latest review appears on the badge and on the public page.
  • Suspended: one of them is no longer met (for example, a new full analysis with a high-priority problem). The badge says so, and so does the public page.

Status is calculated at the moment of request: a copy pasted on your website never says “active” if it no longer is. The seal does not expire with age; what matters is whether the requirements are met today.

How to add it to your website

  • In the dashboard you choose shape, size, language and style (blue, white or black) and copy the HTML snippet, or you turn it on with the SiteNorma WordPress plugin (“Show seal on my website”).
  • The badge links to the public page. If you withdraw the seal, that page is no longer available.
  • When a new full analysis meets the requirements again, the seal can become active once more.

How it relates to the statement and follow-up

The accessibility statement is a different document: it describes the accessibility status of the website. The seal reports SiteNorma’s checks. Organising fixes and manual reviews still follows the follow-up flow.
