When to use this guide
An information icon beside the assistant name is announced only as button and opens the identity explanation.
This is a fictional implementation scenario. The procedure below is Article 50 Hub's suggested working method, not a prescribed legal form, a customer result or a claim that every step is an additional statutory requirement.
Review procedure
-
Inventory interactive controls associated with the notice.
-
Inspect their accessible names and compare them with visible labels or symbols.
-
Activate each control using keyboard and assistive technology.
-
Correct missing or misleading names and verify the resulting behavior.
What the example review finds
-
The information button has no descriptive name.
-
The close control is named submit due to a reused component prop.
Keep these example observations separate from your own results. An unknown or untested state should stay open until the relevant evidence has been inspected.

Correction
Use the downloadable blank worksheet linked on this page to connect the observed behavior with the deployed system. Add a reviewer, date, evidence reference, unresolved questions and a next action. The worksheet is editable locally and does not upload your records to Article 50 Hub.
Completion and handoff
Close the task only for the scope actually reviewed. Preserve the result that another authorized reviewer can reproduce, identify the owner of remaining work, and record a retest when the implementation changes. A completed worksheet is not a substitute for the underlying evidence.
Decision boundary
A correct accessible name does not establish proper focus behavior, notice timing or complete accessibility.
The official references below provide legal or technical context. Resolve applicability and exception questions with the responsible qualified reviewer; use the product's tools to organize implementation work within that assessment.
