Accessibility and Confidentiality

Accessibility of our web platform

Accessibility, as fundamental criteria of equality for all, provides that physical and virtual spaces, such as a website, are adapted to meet the needs of people with disabilities. By following this inclusive principle, the ISM is committed to complying with the WCAG 2.0 AA recommended XHTML and CSS standards as well as the highest government standards for web accessibility.

Images

  • A textual equivalent is provided for any image that does not benefit from any description in the accompanying text.
  • The layout does not use any invisible image.
  • Images are only used when there is no other HTML element to convey the information.

Colors

  • Any information whose interpretation is based on the choice of a color can also be interpreted by texts or images: borders, underlining, boldness, font, etc.
  • The contrast between the background and the foreground colors does not interfere with the experience of visually impaired individuals as well as those who have difficulty perceiving colors.
  • No phenomenon of oscillation on the screen is likely to harm individuals with photosensitive epilepsy.
