Section 508 is a U.S. federal accessibility requirement that affects how electronic information and documentation are authored, reviewed, and delivered.

• Relevant to technical writing because writers often prepare accessible procedures, PDFs, web content, and support documentation for public-sector or regulated audiences.
• It is retained as a limited accessibility-authoring exception and remains under Content Governance, Standards & Compliance.
