Section 1 – Content in compliance with EU Implementation Decision 2018/1523
Biosigma S.p.A. is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree No. 106 of August 10, 2018, which implemented EU Directive 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Legislative Decree No. 82/2022. This accessibility statement applies to the Biosigma website (https://www.biosigma.com/).
Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with the requirements set out in Annex A of the UNI EN 301549:2018 standard (WCAG 2.1) and the requirements of Annex A of the Ministerial Decree of July 5, 2005 (WCAG 2.0), due to the non-compliance cases listed below.
Non-accessible Content
- Some links are empty or unclear and may cause confusion when read with screen readers.
- Some non-text content (images, logos, and other multimedia elements) lacks text alternatives or is incorrectly interpreted by screen readers, limiting comprehension for users with visual disabilities. Similarly, images containing informative text do not provide accessible alternatives or are not accompanied by descriptive text.
- Color contrasts between text and background or between graphic elements and the background are insufficient in some cases and do not meet minimum readability requirements.
- In some cases, the heading hierarchy is not perfectly respected due to gaps between heading levels (e.g., <h1> -> <h3>).
- Some interactive components (modals, carousels, accordions, filters, dropdowns) do not communicate their state (open/closed, selected/unselected).
- Keyboard focus is not always visible, consistent, or complete.
- Some elements are not reachable via keyboard or have an inconsistent or illogical focus order (e.g., elements with tabindex=-1, focus skipping sections).
- Content is not always read by screen readers in a consistent and understandable manner.
- Status notifications or feedback messages (e.g., “added to favorites,” “product unavailable”) are not automatically announced by screen readers.
- There is no mechanism to skip content blocks when navigating with assistive technologies.
- Some foreign language terms are not marked with the “lang” attribute, preventing correct reading by screen readers.
- Error messages in forms are not announced to screen readers.
- PDF documents are not fully accessible; for example, they may contain images without alternative text or lack proper tagging.
