Legislative framework on digital accessibility

Audits and remediation refer to WCAG 2.1 and 2.2, level AA (cited in Europe by the EN 301 549 standard). Specific national frameworks (for example the RGAA in France) are applied only where expressly agreed in writing.

The audit checks the agreed pages and features (the basic audit includes up to 20 pages). Anything outside the scope is not checked.

Automated tools detect only some of the barriers: that is why our audits include manual verification by human auditors.

The widget is a complementary tool for your visitors: it does not fix code or content and, on its own, does not make a site accessible or compliant.

Any later change to code, content or features can introduce new barriers. Maintaining accessibility requires new checks (optional service): it is not automatic.

Meeting WCAG is a technical requirement and does not, on its own, amount to meeting all your legal obligations, which depend on the country, the type of organisation, the sector and the service (for example Directive (EU) 2019/882 and its national transpositions, the rules for the public sector or, in the UK, the Equality Act 2010 and PSBAR 2018) and may include further requirements. We do not provide legal advice or certification.

We work to reach WCAG level AA within the audited scope. The outcome also depends on your platform, your content and the interventions you decide to carry out: we do not guarantee a legal outcome.
