Success Criterion 2.5.8 "Target Size (Minimum)" is a Level AA requirement under the "operable" principle of WCAG 2.2. This criterion is WCAG 2.2-only — it has no EN 301 549 v3.2.1 clause yet.
Correct: pointer targets are at least 24×24 CSS pixels, or spaced so a 24px circle fits between adjacent centres. Incorrect: 12px icon buttons packed into a toolbar, or dense pagination dots. Inline text links inside paragraphs are exempt — icon buttons and pagination dots are not, and spacing counts toward the size.
Engine coverage: manual-only in the current audit tiers — no automated run can certify it.
