Common Look and Feel Self-Assessment Guide
The CLF Self-Assessment Guide has been developed by the Treasury Board
Secretariat for departments and agencies to determine the compliance level of
their Internet Web sites with the Common Look and Feel Standards. The Guide is
available in HTML, PDF and an editable version for consultation and
documentation.
Treasury Board Secretariat has produced the Guide for anyone needing to
assess federal Internet Web sites' compliance with Common Look and Feel
Standards. This includes Web masters, auditors, Web designers and developers.
Government of Canada policy requires all institutions represented in Schedule
1, 1.1 and 2 of the Financial Administration Act to comply with Common Look and
Feel Standards by December 31, 2002. See:
CLF Background.
This Guide presents each Standard as a question and provides a brief
explanation of the Standard. Standard 1.1 on Web site accessibility includes all
Priority 1 and Priority 2 accessibility checkpoints developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The
normative reference for the checkpoints and for their interpretations is the W3C's
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0.
The explanations provided in this Guide for each W3C checkpoint are derived from W3C
documents but they have not been approved by the W3C.
The Guide is available in four formats, as described below.
If you have any questions about the Guide, please contact the Information
Policy Division, Treasury Board Secretariat at
