WCAG 1.4.10 — Reflow

The rule

Success Criterion 1.4.10 "Reflow" is a Level AA requirement under the "perceivable" principle of WCAG 2.2. EN 301 549 clause 9.1.4.10 maps this criterion for procurement conformance.

What it means for how you build

Correct: at a 320 CSS-pixel width the page reflows vertically with no horizontal scrolling. Incorrect: a two-column layout that forces sideways scrolling, or data tables with no overflow handling. Test at a real 320px viewport, not just device emulation — sticky headers and wide tables are the usual offenders.

How the engine checks it

Engine coverage: partially automated (audit tier 2) — automated findings flag candidates; a clean VPAT claim still needs the documented manual check.
