GAR

Summary: Google Accessibility Rating (GAR) is a scale measuring a software product's level of technical accessibility.

The basics

  • The GAR system can be applied to any mobile (Android or iOS), web, Android TV, or Wear OS application. GAR should never be shared externally, so if you want to evaluate an externally developed app, run your GAR assessments internally.
  • It is based on a self-assessment checklist where you assess the support for a range of accessibility needs by answering Yes or No.
  • GAR ratings go from 0 (least accessibility support) to 4 (high accessibility support).
  • Many product areas have a GAR level 4 requirement to launch a new product or feature.
