What is RGAA accessibility standard?

RGAA 4.1 is France's 106-criteria web accessibility rulebook, based on WCAG 2.1 AA but with detailed test procedures. Mandatory for public sites, expanding via EU's EAA.

How does RGAA differ from WCAG?

RGAA has more criteria (106 vs 78), specific verification steps, and 13 themes. WCAG is global goals; RGAA is France's how-to manual for auditors.

Can I automate RGAA audits in CI/CD?

Yes — GitHub Actions, REST API, or MCP server integrate scans. Block PRs on scores, detect patterns across pages, suggest framework-specific fixes.
