Accessibility statement
The registry aims to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This page says what has actually been checked rather than claiming full conformance.
Last updated 2026-09-15
Checked
- Every page starts with a “Skip to content” link for keyboard users.
- Store profiles use one top-level heading and headings nested in order, so a screen reader can move through a profile by section.
- Interactive controls were measured and enlarged where they fell under the WCAG 2.2 minimum target size (2.5.8).
- Pages are rendered on the server: text, scores and tables are readable with JavaScript switched off.
- Layouts are checked at 320 px and 390 px wide on 44 page types: nothing scrolls sideways, and wide tables scroll inside their own box, which also takes keyboard focus (1.4.10).
- Text contrast was measured on the same 44 page types against the background each line actually sits on: body text, labels and placeholders meet 4.5:1, large text 3:1 (1.4.3). Inactive filter pills and decorative step numbers are exempt and stay pale.
- With the text spacing of 1.4.12 forced on (line height 1.5, letter spacing 0.12em, word spacing 0.16em), no text is cut off. Names in dense lists shorten with an ellipsis; the full name is on the page they link to.
- Stepping through pages with Tab at 390 and 1280 px, the focused element stays clear of the sticky header, the bottom bar and the compare dock (2.4.11).
- Copy and share confirmations and the re-check reply sit in live regions, so a screen reader can announce them.
Not yet audited
- A complete pass with a screen reader (NVDA, VoiceOver) across all page types.
- Colour contrast of every score-tier colour against every background it appears on.
