Non-accessible Content

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reason:

  • Non-compliance with RD 1112/2018

9.1.1.1 Non-text Content

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

All non-text content presented to the user has a text alternative that serves the same purpose, except in the situations listed below:

 – Controls, User Input: If the non-text content is a control or accepts user-entered data, then it has a name that describes its purpose. (See Guideline 4.1 for additional requirements on controls and content that accept user input). 

 – Time-based Media: If the non-text content is time-based media, then the text alternatives provide at least a descriptive identification of the non-text content. (See Guideline 1.2 for additional requirements on media). 

 – Tests: If the non-text content is a test or exercise that would not be valid if presented in text form, then the text alternatives provide at least a descriptive identification of the non-text content. 

 – Sensory: If the primary purpose of the non-text content is to create a specific sensory experience, then the text alternatives provide at least a descriptive identification of the non-text content. 

 – CAPTCHA: If the purpose of the non-text content is to confirm that whoever is accessing the content is a person and not a computer, then text alternatives are provided that identify and describe the purpose of the non-text content, and alternative forms of CAPTCHA are provided with output modes for different types of sensory perception, in order to accommodate different disabilities. – Decoration, Formatting, Invisible: If the non-text content is purely decorative, is used only to define visual formatting, or is not presented to users, then it is implemented in such a way that it can be ignored by assistive technologies.

9.1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) (Conditional)

Prerecorded Audio Only: An alternative for time-based media is provided that presents equivalent information for prerecorded audio-only content.
Prerecorded Video Only: An alternative for time-based media is provided or an audio track is provided that presents equivalent information to the content of prerecorded video-only media.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#audio-only-and-video-only-prerecorded

9.1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

Captions are provided for prerecorded audio content in synchronized media, except when the presentation is an alternative to text and is clearly identified as such. (Level A)

9.1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

An alternative for time-based media or an audio description is provided for prerecorded video content in synchronized media, except when that content is alternative media for text and is clearly identified as such.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#audio-description-or-media-alternative-prerecorded

9.1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

Information, structure, and relationships conveyed through presentation can be programmatically determined or are available in text.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#info-and-relationships

9.1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

When the sequence in which content is presented affects its meaning, the correct reading sequence can be programmatically determined.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#meaningful-sequence

9.1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1, except for the following: 

Large Text: Large-scale text and large-scale images of text have a contrast ratio of at least 3:1;

Incidental: Text or images of text that are part of an inactive user interface component, that are pure decoration, that are not visible to anyone, or that are part of a picture that contains other significant visual content, have no contrast requirement.
Logotypes: Text that is part of a logo or brand name has no minimum contrast requirement.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#contrast-minimum

9.2.1.1 Keyboard (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

All functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user’s movement and not just the endpoints. (Level A)

Note 1: This exception relates to the underlying function, not the input technique. For example, if text input is done by handwriting, the input technique (handwriting) depends on the path, but the underlying function (entering text) does not.

Note 2: This does not forbid and should not discourage authors from providing mouse or other input methods in addition to keyboard operability.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#keyboard

9.2.4.1 Bypass Blocks (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

A mechanism is available to bypass blocks of content that are repeated on multiple Web pages. (Level A)

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#bypass-blocks

9.2.5.1 Pointer Gestures (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#pointer-gestures

9.2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

For functionality that can be operated with a single pointer, at least one of the following is true: 

No Down-Event: The down-event of the pointer is not used to execute any part of the function;

Abort or Undo: Completion of the function is on the up-event, and a mechanism is available to abort the function before completion or to undo the function after completion;

Up Reversal: The up-event reverses any outcome of the preceding down-event;
Essential: Completing the function on the down-event is essential.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#pointer-cancellation

9.2.5.3 Label in Name (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

For user interface components with labels that include text or images of text, the name contains the text that is presented visually.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#label-in-name

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/#parsing

9.4.1.2 Name, Role, Value (Conditional)

Condition: When ICT is a webpage.

For all user interface components (including but not limited to: form elements, links, and components generated by scripts), the name and role can be programmatically determined; states, properties, and values that users can set can be programmatically set; and changes to these items are available for user agents, including assistive technologies. (Level A)

Note: This success criterion is primarily aimed at Web authors who develop or program their own user interface components. For example, standard HTML controls automatically satisfy this criterion when used according to their specification.
