+## Applicability
+
+This rule applies to any `audio` or `video` element for which all the following are true:
+
+- autoplay: the element has an `autoplay` [attribute value][] of `true`; and
+- not muted: the element has a `muted` [attribute value][] of `false`; and
+- not paused: the element has a `paused` [attribute value][] of `false`; and
+- audio duration: the element has a [media resource][] for which the audio output lasts longer than 3 seconds.
+
+## Expectation
+
+For each test target, there is at least one [instrument][] in the same [web page][] to pause, stop, or mute the audio.
+
+## Assumptions
+
+This rule assumes that it is not sufficient for the [instrument][] to control the sound to be located on a different [web page][], or a different state of the same [web page][] to pass the rule. [Instruments][instrument] located on other pages can still create accessibility issues for users relying on sound to navigate (e.g. screen reader users) since the autoplaying sound will interfere with their ability to find and activate the [instrument][]. If an [instrument][] external to the [web page][] is provided, this rule will fail but it is still possible to satisfy [Success Criterion 1.4.2 Audio Control][sc142].
+
+## Accessibility Support
+
+Some major browsers do not automatically play the 'video' unless the 'video' is muted. For these, the rule is never applicable. But for browsers that autoplay not muted video, the rule is still applicable.
+
+## Background
+
+The [instruments][instrument] used to pass this rule (if any), must meet all level A Success Criteria in order to fully satisfy [Success Criterion 1.4.2 Audio Control][sc142]. This means the [instrument][] to control the sound should be visible and accessible in order to be effective and usable by all kinds of users. If the [instrument][] is hidden to some users, it is possible to pass this rule but still not satisfy [Success Criterion 1.4.2 Audio Control][sc142]. These extra requirements are left out of this rule, and should be tested separately.
