Commitment to Accessibility

The Rubber Federation is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We strive to continuously improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the AA level. These guidelines help make web content more accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities, including blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, limited movement, speech disabilities, and more.

Testing and Audits

We have conducted accessibility audits and testing using both automated tools and manual reviews. The initial results highlighted areas for improvement, which we are actively addressing. To ensure ongoing compliance and improvement, we conduct these tests semi-annually.
