	Violations	Warnings	Manual Checks	Passed	Not Applicable
Number of Pages	-	-	-	-	59

Definition	Each data table header cell must use `th` elements rather than `td` element with a `scope` attribute.
Purpose	`th` element is the web standards way to identify header cells in a table, and makes the data table source code easier to read and debug for accessibility problems.
WCAG 2.0 Success Criteria	1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A, Primary Success Criterion) Other Related Success Criterion: 2.4.6 Headings and Labels (Level AA)
Rule Category	Tables
Scope	Element
Target Resources	`th` and `td[scope]` elements
Techniques	Use `th` elements in the first row or column to identify row and column headers in a simple data tables. Use `headers` attribute on each `td` element to identify header information in complex data tables. Use `th` element for cells used as header cells in the table.
Manual Checks	Verify the each data cell has header cells that clearly identify the meaning of the content of the data cell.
