The website www.siae.fr has been designed and developed following the recommendations of the Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité (RGAA) to ensure accessibility for all users, regardless of their hardware, software, or any physical, sensory, cognitive, or technological disabilities.
SIAE is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with Article 47 of Law No. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005.
This statement applies exclusively to the website www.siae.fr. Integrated content from third parties (e.g., videos hosted on external platforms) is not covered by this statement and remains the responsibility of the respective providers.
Compliance status
The website www.siae.fr is partially compliant with the Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité (RGAA), version 4.1.
Test Results
The accessibility audit conducted by the agency O’Communication in November 2024 revealed that 95% of the RGAA 4.1 criteria are met on the audited pages, with an average compliance rate of 98%.
The accessibility audit provided the following results for the main pages:
- Homepage: 100%
- Practical Information: 96%
- Exhibitors: 98%
- Public Events: 96%
- Contact: 100%
These results indicate a website that is largely accessible, with minor adjustments required to achieve full compliance.
Inspector’s assessment
“The website meets Level A criteria and provides a broadly accessible experience for users, with minor adjustments ongoing to achieve maximum compliance. Tests show that most content and features comply with RGAA standards. Specific elements (standard contrast levels, keyboard navigation on some controls) are being adjusted to ensure full compliance.
The site includes several elements that strengthen its accessibility:
- Textual descriptions for images: All images include appropriate alt tags, validated by the client.
- Subtitles for videos: All integrated videos feature subtitles via the <track kind=”captions”> attribute.
- High-contrast mode button: This feature improves readability by offering a high-contrast display mode.
- Keyboard navigation: Interactive elements are keyboard-accessible, with focus indicators on most controls.”
Non-accessible content
Non-Compliances
Although the website achieves a high level of compliance, some elements still require adjustments to fully meet RGAA criteria. These adjustments are the result of technical or aesthetic choices that must be balanced with accessibility requirements:
- Standard contrast levels: Some text areas display contrast levels slightly below RGAA recommendations to maintain a coherent and visually appealing design. However, a high-contrast mode button has been integrated to provide an accessible alternative, allowing users to switch to a more readable version of the content.
- Untitled <iframe> elements: Due to technical limitations associated with the structure of certain external integrations (e.g., videos or widgets), some <iframe> elements lack descriptive titles. These titles are necessary for optimal compatibility with screen readers, but their current absence does not affect the comprehension of the primary content.
- Keyboard tab order: While the keyboard navigation order generally follows a logical visual flow, certain specific interactions require technical adjustments to make the focus visible on all interactive elements. This ensures smooth navigation for users unable to use a mouse while respecting the site’s aesthetic layout.
Exceptions for disproportionate burden
Certain adaptations or specific content cannot be made compliant due to the disproportionate burden it would impose. Examples include:
- Third-party videos: Videos hosted on external platforms do not always feature subtitles or audio descriptions. However, to ensure greater accessibility, a complete textual description of the video content has been integrated directly into the pages where they appear. This description, similar to the textual alternatives used for images, allows users to understand the content and message conveyed by the video even in the absence of subtitles or audio descriptions.
- Specific modules or integrations: Some complex widgets or dynamic content developed by third parties are limited in their customization options for accessibility.
Content not subject to accessibility requirements
Certain content is excluded from accessibility requirements as it does not fall under the legal obligation. Examples include:
- Office documents (PDFs, Word, etc.) published before September 23, 2018.
- Content that is purely decorative or not essential for understanding the main information.
- Content from third-party integrations or external sources.
