Accessibility

Accessibility status of the website

The Finnvera.fi website largely fulfils the accessibility criteria levels A and AA as required by law (WCAG 2.1). The website has some accessibility defects, which are described in greater detail below. We will continue to monitor and develop the accessibility status of the website.

Content or functions which are not yet accessible:

- On some pages and in some PDF files, there are graphs in a non-text format and no descriptive text alternatives have been defined for them. (WCAG 1.1.1)
- The country policy map, and the "Comparing payment methods" functionality on the "Export payment method" page have not been implemented in a completely accessible manner. (1.1.1, 1.3.1)
- On some pages, the contrast of text above the main image is not adequate. (1.4.11, 1,4.3)
- On some pages, the header of links is not sufficiently descriptive. (2.4.4)
- During 2020, we will continue to render accessible the PDF files that are within the scope of legislation and were published before 23 September 2018.

Content not within the scope of legislation:

- Office software files (e.g. doc, pdf) which were published before 23 September 2018 and are not needed for accessing the online service.
- Video or audio recordings which were published before 23 September 2020.
- Files prepared by external parties that have not been produced by Finnvera itself.

Accessibility status of the digital service

The online service does not fulfil the critical accessibility criteria. Based on the assessment conducted on the online service, implementing the following critical criteria in the existing service would create an unreasonable burden, considering the remaining life of the service.

The accessibility criteria will be taken into consideration in the procurement of a new digital platform, which is tentatively scheduled for implementation at the end of 2021.
