- [WCAG SC 1.4.1 Use of Color](http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/visual-audio-contrast-without-color.html) -- Color is not used as the only visual means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element.
- [WCAG SC 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics](http://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/content-structure-separation-understanding.html) -- Instructions provided for understanding and operating content do not rely solely on sensory characteristics of components such as shape, size, visual location, orientation, or sound.
- [WCAG SC 1.1.1 Non-text Content](https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/text-equiv-all.html) -- All non-text content that is presented to the user has a text alternative that serves the equivalent purpose, except for [specific] situations.

### Limitations, Assumptions, or Exceptions

- This requirement does not prohibit the use of color or sensory characteristics to provide information, directions, or cues. However, they must be used in conjunction with contextual, textual, and/or other visual cues.
- This is not a test of alternative text descriptions which require assistive technology access. Users with color deficiency do not typically use AT.
- Text Alternative descriptions that are not available visually would not pass these tests.
- The test for audible cues covers short sounds used to notify the user, such as confirmation beeps and error notifications. Audio in time-based media is covered in Baseline [16. Audio-only and Video-only](../16AudioVideo.md).

#### Test Results

### 7.3 Test Procedure for Audible Cues
**Baseline Test ID:** 7.3-AudibleCues
#### Identify Content
<p id="3IC">Identify any short sound/audible cue that serves as a notification to the user, such as a beep that signifies an error has occurred or a chime to indicate an incoming message.</p>

#### Test Instructions
<ol id="3TI">
<li id="3TI-1">Check that a text alternative that describes the purpose of the sound is provided with the audible cue. [SC 1.1.1]<br>
For example:
<ul>
<li>A short beep and an asterisk appears on a required field to notify the user that the field must be completed. </li>
<li>As a timer counts down, a bell rings and a "Two minutes left!" message appears on screen.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>

#### Test Results
<p id="3TR">If any of the above checks fail, then Baseline Test 7.3-AudibleCues fails.</p>

### Advisory: Tips for streamlined test processes

- Content that uses color must have an additional visual cue. Instructions that rely on a sensory characteristic must have an additional visual cue. It is possible to cover both requirements in a single test.

- If audio is synchronized with video, slides, animations, or other time-based visual media, then use the synchronization test instead: Baseline [17. Synchronized Media](../17SyncMedia).
- Audio intended as a media alternative for text does not require additional description if it is clearly labeled as such.
- Short sounds used to notify the user, such as confirmation beeps and error notifications, are not included in this requirement.
- Short sounds used to notify the user, such as confirmation beeps and error notifications, are not included in this requirement. The check for this requirement is performed under Baseline [7. Sensory Characteristics](../07Sensory).
- Information and/or instructions provided in the form of audio-only content must provide equivalent programmatic and/or textual cues; the check for this requirement is performed under Baseline [7. Sensory Characteristics](../07Sensory).
