Accessibility statement
This accessibility statement applies to the thl.fi website and was updated on 15 March 2024.
Website accessibility status
The website does not yet meet all the AA-level and A-level criteria of the WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
Thl.fi does not yet fully comply with the requirements
The accessibility of the website was audited by an external party in 2021. Shortcomings have been identified in accessibility such as the following:
- The service may have a lack of contrast between the colours used in different sections.
- Links are distinguished from body text with only colour and the contrast between the body and link texts is not sufficient.
- The screen reader and keyboard availability of the cookie notification has room for improvement.
- Many images that include text, especially infographics, do not show up in screen reader use and have insufficient contrast.
- Not all tables use programmatically determined column and/or row headings, and table headings may be missing.
- Not all images intended for decorative purposes are marked as decorative images.
- The implementation of video and audio content is not fully accessible (missing descriptive narration and text-based equivalents).
- In the The Blood Alcohol Concentration Calculator, the structure of the radio button element is not intact and label elements are missing in some input fields.
- Attached files and forms are not yet accessible in all cases.
