# Chip Accessibility

Out of the box, the Kendo UI for Vue Chip provides extensive accessibility support and enables users with disabilities to acquire complete control over its features.

The Chip is compliant with the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AA](https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/) standards and [Section 508](https://www.section508.gov/) requirements, follows the [Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications (WAI-ARIA)](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) best practices, provides options for managing component's focus and is tested against the most popular screen readers.
