Accessibility

This page presents our commitments in terms of digital accessibility and defines the level of compliance of this site with current regulations and standards.

What is digital accessibility?

Digital accessibility is a set of rules and best practices covering functional, graphic, technical and editorial aspects.
Following these rules and best practices ensures that digital media (websites, mobile applications, PDF documents, etc.) are accessible to people with disabilities.
For example, an accessible site allows you to :

  •  Customize your display via the operating system and/or browser (enlarge or shrink characters, change typography, modify colors, stop animations, etc.).
  • Navigate using assistive technologies such as text-to-speech or Braille.
  • Navigate without using the mouse, using the keyboard only, switches or a touch screen.
  • View video and audio content with subtitles and/or transcriptions.
  • Etc.

Digital accessibility commitments

Lesaffre undertakes to make its websites (internet, intranet and extranet), mobile applications, software packages and digital street furniture accessible in accordance with article 47 of law no. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005.

Declaration of partial compliance with RGAA

This declaration applies to the “All about yeast” website.

Compliance status

This site is partially compliant with the RGAA (Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité) – version 4.1.2 due to the non-conformities listed below.

Test results

The RGAA version 4.1.2 compliance audit carried out in July 2024 by Ideance revealed that:

  •  The overall compliance rate is 52.5%.
    This rate is obtained by dividing the number of compliant criteria by the number of applicable criteria.
  •  The average compliance rate is 60.9%.
    This rate is obtained by averaging the compliance rates for each page.

  • 12.8 – Inconsistent tab order.

Content not subject to accessibility requirements

The following components have been exempted. They have therefore not been subject to a complete and detailed audit:

  • The “complianz” cookie manager.
  • The “reCAPTCHA” spam protection system.
  • The “Vimeo” video player.

However, we have checked that their presence does not prevent the rest of the site from being used and consulted.

Additional comments

Validity of generated source code

The source code generated for the site’s pages is not totally valid for the type of document specified.
However, for the reasons given below, RGAA criterion 8.2 corresponding to this point has been marked as compliant.

Officially, WCAG criterion 4.1.1 relating to this RGAA criterion 8.2 has been removed from WCAG 2.2 and must be considered as still being satisfied with regard to WCAG 2.1 and European standard EN 301 549.

In practice, this criterion no longer has any benefit in terms of accessibility for the disabled. Any accessibility problems arising from the non-validity of the source code generated are covered by other RGAA criteria.
