Site accessibility : Non-compliant

Images:
Difficulties have been encountered with images on the site. Some images providing information do not have a textual alternative or present incomplete or irrelevant alternatives. Conversely, purely decorative images are not systematically ignored by assistive technologies, which generates unnecessary information during navigation. Furthermore, when captions are used, their association with the corresponding images is not always correctly rendered (criteria 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.9). These shortcomings may prevent blind or partially-sighted people who use a screen reader or speech device from correctly understanding the content provided, particularly when an image conveys essential or contextual information.

Colour:
Several of the site’s contents rely solely on colour to convey information or distinguish elements, without any perceptible alternative. In addition, insufficient contrast was noted between text and its background, as well as on certain graphic elements and interface components (criteria 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3). These situations make reading and comprehension difficult for visually impaired people, people with colour blindness or people faced with poor viewing conditions (low light levels, small screens), and can lead to a loss of information.

Links:
Links on the site are not sufficiently explicit when consulted out of their visual context, or do not have clear and distinct headings (criteria 6.1 and 6.2). This complicates navigation for screen reader users, who often browse pages via a list of links, but also for people with cognitive or comprehension difficulties, for whom ambiguous headings can make browsing confusing.

Scripts:
Some script-based functionalities are not fully compatible with assistive technologies or cannot be used from the keyboard. Dynamically generated status messages are not always delivered appropriately to users (criteria 7.1, 7.3 and 7.5). These non-compliances may prevent people who navigate without a mouse, particularly those with a motor disability or those using a screen reader, from accessing certain functions or from being correctly informed of changes in the status of the site.

Mandatory elements:
Problems have been identified with the elements that are essential for understanding the pages. Some page titles are not sufficiently relevant, language changes are not correctly indicated, and some tags are used for purely visual purposes rather than semantic ones (criteria 8.6, 8.7 and 8.9). These shortcomings hinder the orientation and overall understanding of the site, particularly for users of assistive technologies, who rely on this information to find their way around and understand the context of the content.

Information structuring:
The structuring of content is not always consistent: titles do not systematically follow a logical hierarchy and some lists are not correctly identified as such (criteria 9.1 and 9.3). Inconsistent page structure makes navigation more complex for people using screen readers or rapid navigation tools, and can also affect the comprehension of content for users with cognitive impairments.

Presentation of information:
A number of problems relate to the visual presentation and adaptability of content. Deactivating style sheets can lead to a loss of information or impaired comprehension. Text enlargement up to 200% is not always possible without difficulty, some links lack visual distinction, focus indicators are sometimes absent or barely visible, and excessive horizontal or vertical scrolling constraints have been observed. In addition, text spacing cannot always be adjusted without loss of content, and some additional content appearing when hovering or focusing is not controllable or accessible using the keyboard (criteria 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.6, 10.7, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14). These obstacles particularly affect the visually impaired, those using reading aids, and users navigating exclusively by keyboard, making consultation tiring or even impossible.

Forms:
Non-compliances were noted in the forms, in particular the absence or inadequate relevance of certain labels, inappropriate grouping of fields of the same nature, button headings that were not very self-explanatory, and poor management of input controls and error correction prompts. In addition, certain functionalities relating to the modification or retrieval of data entered, as well as the automatic filling of fields, are not fully supported (criteria 11.1, 11.2, 11.5, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.12 and 11.13). These shortcomings may prevent people who are blind or partially sighted, or who have cognitive or motor impairments, from completing the forms independently and safely.

Navigation:
Navigation within the site has its limitations: some content grouping areas cannot be easily reached or bypassed, and the tabbing order is not always consistent (criteria 12.6 and 12.8). These problems complicate navigation for users using keyboards or assistive technologies, lengthening access times to information and increasing the risk of disorientation.

Consultation:
Finally, some animated or moving content does not have sufficient control mechanisms, and some functions that require complex gestures are not systematically accessible using simple gestures (criteria 13.8 and 13.10). These situations may pose difficulties for people with motor, cognitive or attention impairments, as well as for users of alternative devices, by limiting their ability to consult or fully use the content on offer.
