PLEASE NOTE: While a VPAT can be an essential aid in assessing the availability of ICT products with accessibility features, it is important to note that, even in cases where a product conforms to relevant standards and technical specifications, an end user may still encounter difficulties utilizing it due to the nature or severity of their disability. On the other hand, a product that may not fully conform to all technical requirements may still be perfectly accessible to an end user who has a disability, but does not need a particular accessibility feature, e.g., a large-button telephone handset for an individual with a hearing disability.

    Web accessibility

    Disability is defined as: any activity limitation or participation restriction in society, experienced by a person as a result of a substantial, lasting or definitive alteration of one or more physical, sensory, mental, cognitive, or psychic functions, a multiple disability, or a disabling health condition (article L. 114 of the Social Action and Families Code).

    Web accessibility consists of making online public communication services accessible to people with disabilities, and is based on four fundamental principles:

    Perceivable: Information and user interface components must be presented to the user in such a way that they can perceive them. For example, providing textual equivalents for all non-textual content that can then be presented in other forms according to the user's needs: large characters, braille, speech synthesis, symbols or simplified language.

    Operable: User interface and navigation components must be operable. For example, making all functionality available via keyboard.

    Understandable: Information and the use of the user interface must be understandable. Textual content must be made readable and navigation must be consistent.

    Robust: Content must be sufficiently robust to be reliably interpreted by a wide variety of user agents, including assistive technologies.

    WCAG

    WCAG overview

    The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, more commonly referred to as WCAG, is a set of guidelines developed with the aim of making web content more accessible to people with disabilities. It is developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international organization that develops open standards to ensure the long-term growth of the Web. The W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) specifically handles the development and management of the WCAG.

    The WCAG guidelines are globally recognized and adopted as the standard for digital accessibility. They have undergone multiple revisions since the release of WCAG 1.0 in 1999, with WCAG 2.0 being published in 2008, WCAG 2.1 in 2018, and WCAG 2.2 in 2023. These updates aim to account for changes in technology and a better understanding of different accessibility needs.

    Levels of Conformance

    The WCAG guidelines are divided into three levels of conformance: A (lowest), AA (midrange), and AAA (highest). Each level has specific criteria that must be satisfied to achieve that level of conformance. The guidelines are designed this way to meet the needs of different individuals and situations, with Level A addressing the most severe and limiting accessibility issues, and Level AAA addressing more comprehensive accessibility considerations.

    It's important to remember that while WCAG is an excellent guideline and standard, achieving 100% compliance with WCAG does not necessarily mean a website is completely accessible to all users. It's crucial to complement these guidelines with user testing and continual reassessment of your site's accessibility needs.

    Accessibility web page

    An accessibility page on a website is a place where website owners can detail the measures they have taken to make their website accessible to individuals with disabilities. This is a best-practice in web design and development to enhance digital accessibility. Here are a few components you might often find on an accessibility page:

    • Commitment Statement: This is a formal statement where the business or organization expresses its commitment to digital accessibility.
    • Standards Compliance: This is where the website indicates the accessibility standards it adheres to, such as WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This may also include information about how the site has been tested for compliance with these standards.
    • Accessibility Features: A rundown of the main accessibility features of the site, such as keyboard shortcuts, text size options, color contrast options, etc.
    • Instructions for Using Accessibility Features: Detailed instructions on how to use the site's accessibility features, like how to turn on captions or use keyboard navigation.
    • Contact and Feedback: Information on how to contact the website team to report accessibility issues, request accommodations, or provide feedback on the site's accessibility.
    • Update and Revision Date: The date of the last update to the accessibility page or compliance information.

    It's important to remember that the presence of an accessibility page doesn't guarantee in itself that the site is accessible, but it's an indicator of the company's commitment to digital accessibility.

    Methodology

    Objective manual and semi-automatic verification methodology

    We analyze content with different automatic and semiautomatic systems and compare the results between tools to obtain the most complete and objective verification. The reference standard, unless specifically requested, that we use is always the latest (WCAG 2.x) so that we can ensure compliance in all countries from which the touchpoint (site, app, etc.) can be accessed.

    Our verification is therefore compliant with WCAG 2.x level AA, and the requirements in UNI EN 301549 Guidelines or their declination in the French RGAAs. Each tool produces results that are then analyzed by our experts: it is, therefore, possible that not all tool results appear because they are judged to be false negatives.

    Some online validators used as samples on the pages:

    And other local tools:

    • Web developer toolbar: Used to support manual verification. It allowed us to locate images without alt texts, fields without labels, etc.https://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/
    • AXE e Lighthouse for Chrome: they have provided us with precise indications on the defects of the accessibility of the HTML code but also on WAI ARIA attributes, fundamental in the case of web applications and interactive components.
    • Siteimprove for Chrome: like AX, it provides useful indications for verifying compliance but is a tool evaluated by AgID useful for monitoring public sites.

    Terms

    The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:

    Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.

    Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.

    Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.

    Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.

    Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can only be used in WCAG Level AAA criteria.

    Compliance levels

    To meet the needs of various groups and different contexts, three levels of compliance have been defined: A (lowest), AA, and AAA (highest).

    Level A Criterion : Minimum level. Impacts the experience of a wide range of users / often requires simple implementation techniques.

    Level AA Criterion : Improved accessibility level. Impacts a smaller group of users / may require more specific implementation techniques.

    Level AAA Criterion : Maximum level of accessibility, suitable only for certain contexts
