-Abstract: The Accessibility Conformance Testing (ACT) Rules Format 1.1 defines a format for writing accessibility test rules. These test rules can be used for developing automated testing tools and manual testing methodologies. It provides a common format that allows any party involved in accessibility testing to document and share their testing procedures in a robust and understandable manner. This enables transparency and harmonization of testing methods, including methods implemented by accessibility test tools.

The ACT Rules Format is designed to be technology agnostic, meaning that it can conceivably be used to describe test rules for other technologies.
 
 The ACT Rules Format can be used to describe ACT Rules dedicated to testing the [=accessibility requirements=] defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines [[WCAG22]], which are specifically designed for web content. Other accessibility requirements applicable to web technologies can also be testable with ACT Rules. For example, ACT Rules could be developed to test the conformance of web-based user agents to the [User Agent Accessibility Guidelines](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/uaag/) [[UAAG20]]. The ACT Rules Format might not always be suitable to describe tests for other types of accessibility requirements.

This correlation often results in some of the rule's test cases not satisfying the secondary accessibility requirement.
