For five years now, WACA and TÜV TRUST IT TÜV AUSTRIA GMBH have been working together successfully in the field of digital accessibility and IT security. The collaboration combines the expertise of both players as professional accessibility experts and auditors on the one hand and years of experience as a certification body recognized throughout Europe on the other.
In the year 2025 alone
- 30 certificates have already been awarded
- there are currently 20 more projects in the pipeline or in the certification process
These figures speak for themselves – and for the joint commitment to promoting digital accessibility and quality in the long term.
WACA – Web Accessibility Certificate Austria
WACA is the association for the promotion of accessibility in information and communication technology and is committed to the advantage through accessibility .
Accessibility is important in all areas of life because it enables equal opportunities, participation and self-determination for all people – regardless of physical, sensory, cognitive or age-related limitations.
The WACA certificate ensures that theory becomes reality and that both users and the certified company benefit from it.
Why accessibility is important everywhere:
- Equal participation – Everyone should have access to education, work, leisure and digital services.
- Inclusive working environment – Accessible workplaces promote diversity and productivity.
- Digital accessibility – Websites & apps must be usable for everyone – even with a screen reader or keyboard.
- Demographic change – Accessibility not only helps people with disabilities, but also older generations who are becoming more and more internet-savvy
- Economic advantage – More accessibility = larger target group & better brand perception.
- Legal obligation – New EU regulations on digital accessibility will apply from 2025.
Accessibility is not an extra – it’s essential. For everyone. Always.
