Structured list

The structured list React Carbon component has been tested against the latest W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and AA success criteria and violations have been identified as high priority issues. This document will be updated when these accessibility issues are resolved.

Accessibility testing status

For every latest release, Carbon runs tests on all components to meet the accessibility requirements. These different statuses report the work that Carbon has done in the back end. These tests appear only when the components are stable.

Latest version: ^1.56.0 | Framework: React (@carbon/react)

Accessibility considerations

  1. The structured list headers accurately describe the data contained in the rows and columns.
  2. If the structured list has a labels it should be clear and concise.
  3. If the structured list has a caption or description, aria-describedby should be set on the table element with a value referring to the element containing the description.
