Compliance Status

There are official standards and agreements that determine what web accessibility means. If you meet those standards, then anyone, with or without a disability, and in any context, can access your online information and services.

The reference in those standards is the WCAG or Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1. There are three levels at which these rules can be implemented: Level A, Level AA and Level AAA.

We are fully compliant with WCAG 2.1 level A and partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA because some parts of our website are not fully compliant with these rules.

We are doing our utmost to make the entire website and all documents accessible to everyone. Nevertheless, we have not succeeded completely.
