# Provide accessible names for meter elements
A meter represents a scalar measurement; without a label, a user might hear a value (e.g., '50%') but have no idea if it refers to battery life, storage space, or a password strength.
## Quick Reference
- The `<meter>` element or `role="meter"` must have an accessible label
- Use `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` to provide context
- Helps users understand what measurement is being displayed
## Check
Check for `<meter>` elements or elements with `role="meter"` that lack an accessible name.
## Fix
Add an `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby` to the meter element to describe the measurement.
## Explain
Explain why measurements need context through accessible names for screen reader users.
## Code Review
Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Provide accessible names for meter elements. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
