Accessibility Statement

SUMER is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone, and applying the relevant accessibility standards.

Conformance Status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. SUMER is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

WCAG 2.2 Enhancements

This website implements WCAG 2.2 Level AA success criteria including:

  • Focus Not Obscured (Minimum): Focused elements are not entirely hidden by other content
  • Dragging Movements: All functionality that uses dragging can be achieved by a single pointer without dragging
  • Target Size (Minimum): Interactive elements have adequate target sizes for easier interaction
  • Accessible Authentication: Authentication processes do not rely solely on cognitive function tests
