Accessibility Statement

(in compliance with Article 3-bis of Law no. 4, dated 9 January 2004)

COSWELL SPA VAT No.:00708541206 is committed to making its product accessible in accordance with Legislative Decree No. 106 dated 10 August 2018. This accessibility statement applies to the website: https://www.vimclorex.com

Compliance status

This website does Not comply with the requirements set out in Appendix A of the technical standard UNI EN 301549:2018 (which corresponds to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.1), due to the non-compliance cases listed below.

Inaccessible content

Non-compliance details
1. The website provides no documentation about its ICT accessibility and compatibility features, which makes it difficult for users to understand how to use and activate them. It also does not fully satisfy all the WCAG 2.1, level AA requirements, which undermines the usability of certain pages or functionalities. At a user interface level, it does not always observe users’ color, contrast, font and focus preferences, which makes interaction more difficult, especially for people with specific needs.
2. Many pages include images with no text alternatives and some of the images contain text that is not included in a way that is visible on the page, so assistive technologies cannot read the content describing them.
3. On most pages, the structure of and relationships between the elements are not always defined programmatically or supported by text alternatives. There are also syntactical errors or invalid markings that prevent assistive technologies from correctly interpreting webpage contents and functionalities. Lastly, several interactive elements fail to communicate their name, role, or value correctly, which hinders accessibility for people using screen readers or other assistive devices.
4. In some pages, keyboard navigation is not fully supported. Some elements cannot be accessed without a mouse pointer, and no keyboard focus indicator is visible. The navigation sequence does not always follow a logical order, which makes information hard to understand. There is also no mechanism for skipping repetitive blocks of content or slowing down navigation.
5. Color is the only identifier used to transmit information; for example, on most pages, links are marked as such, only by the color of the font. The contrast ratio between text color and background color is also not always at least 4.5:1, and the contrast ratio of the graphic elements is not at least 3.1:1 in relation to the color or adjacent colors.
6. On certain pages, the layout’s spacing, text resizing and small-screen adaptation is managed ineffectively, which adversely affects readability and functionality.
7. The search results page does not have a title that describes or is consistent with its content and the default language is not set correctly. This may prevent assistive tools from interpreting the content in the correct language (the site is in English, but this page appears to be in Italian). It also makes it difficult for users to understand the page topic. The language of some of the sections or sentences in the homepage is also not defined programmatically.
8. There are links on nearly all the web pages that do not provide clear information about their purpose. This makes it difficult for users to understand where they lead if they have not read the surrounding context. Some links are also not properly labeled (by name and/or role) in the code, which prevents assistive technologies from interpreting them correctly. This can create difficulties for blind people or those using screen readers.
9. Some of the website pages do not offer at least two ways of identifying them, like a sitemap, table of contents, or search function, which makes it harder to find information.
10. On certain pages, some interactive components have a different name (name attribute) to the visually presented text (text labels or text images). This can create difficulties for people using assistive technologies or voice input tools, which makes interaction with the website less intuitive.
11. In the homepage, without giving clear prior indication, the interface triggers unexpected context changes when the user alters a setting or interacts with certain components (for example, when the product order is changed, the page reloads and returns to the top). This can disorient people who use assistive technologies or navigate exclusively via keyboard commands, and this makes functionalities more difficult to understand and use.

COSWELL SPA VAT No.: 00708541206 is currently implementing the updates needed to ensure full compliance with accessibility requirements.
