A public entity may use conforming alternate versions of ICT to comply with these rules only where it is not possible to make the ICT directly accessible due to technical or legal limitations.

A. Alternate versions must:

1. Provide all of the same information and functionality in the same human language;

2. Be as up-to-date as the non-conforming version;

3. Be as readily available as the non-conforming version; and

4. Conform to the technical standards or meet the requirements through equivalent facilitation.

B. Digital content: Alternate versions may be created whose number of pages varies from the original. Alternate versions may be provided for:

1. A part of a web page, entire web pages, or an entire site;

2. A part of an electronic document or an entire electronic document; or

3. Any information conveyed in a digital format.

C. ICT with closed functionality: Alternate versions are generally not available. Equally effective alternative access using a separate product may be acceptable. Alternate products must ensure the same access to all functionality and information.
