# A: Required ARIA attributes must be provided (WCAG 4.1.2)
## aria-required-attr
- [**Meaning**](https://help.sitecockpit.com/en/documentation/easymonitoring-checks/automated-checks/aria-required-attr#This-means)
- [**Impact**](https://help.sitecockpit.com/en/documentation/easymonitoring-checks/automated-checks/aria-required-attr#Impact)
- [**Recommendation**](https://help.sitecockpit.com/en/documentation/easymonitoring-checks/automated-checks/aria-required-attr#Recommendation)
- [**Examples**](https://help.sitecockpit.com/en/documentation/easymonitoring-checks/automated-checks/aria-required-attr#Example)
Ensure that elements with ARIA roles have all required ARIA attributes.
### **This means**
Certain roles require mandatory attributes. Examples:
`slider` needs `aria-valuemin`, `aria-valuemax`, `aria-valuenow`;
`checkbox` and `switch` need `aria-checked`;
`tab` needs `aria-selected`;
`progressbar` needs values and a name.
If these details are missing, assistive technology cannot correctly announce state and range.
### **Impact**
Users do not understand the meaning and status of controls. Interaction patterns work unreliably, leading to frequent errors and interruptions. The result is violations of the WCAG.
### **Recommendation**
- Use native HTML elements whenever possible.
- Always set all mandatory attributes for ARIA roles according to the specification and keep them updated during state changes.
- Assign names using `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby`.
- Verify with automated checks and screen reader tests.
### **Example**
*Problematic*
```
```
*Better*
```
Volume
```
*Second example*
*Problematic*
```
Newsletter
```
*Better*
```
