In order to fulfil the legal requirements regarding accessibility, some adjustments have been made, such as:

  • responsive design (the website adapts to the size of the user’s screen without losing structure or content).
  • it is possible to enlarge fonts without losing content or functionality.
  • display of content for users of assistive technology (screen readers, braille).
  • the website can also be used with a keyboard only (navigation without a mouse).
  • appropriate colour contrasts (between text and background).
  • webpages do not contain flashing images and are safe to use for all user groups that might react to or experience attacks due to rapid changes and flashing elements.
  • images can be accompanied by alternative text.
  • different levels of headings can be used.
  • the website appears predictable.

INACCESSIBLE CONTENT

The accessibility of our websites is monitored and improved regularly. However, some of the content published does not meet all accessibility requirements as set out in the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act.

Examples of such content:

  • Some of the PDF files are of an older date. These are scanned documents that are not accessible to users with certain disabilities.
  • Individual multimedia virtual exhibitions.
  • Some decorative images do not have alternative texts, in some cases the title levels are skipped.
  • Contrast ratios are not regulated for some social media plugins. For social media plugins that link to the medium itself, the link description is missing.
  • Articles have automatically generated links to related content where the link description is missing.
  • Contrast ratios are not yet regulated in some places.

We also manage the mCOBISS mobile app, which is partially compliant with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act.
