Accessibility Statement

The desk builds every page from standard markup and styling only, with no active behaviour, so the documents stay readable in a plain reader, offline, and on a slow link. This statement sets out what is supported and how to report a barrier.

What the pages provide

Each page has a single top heading, a language tag, and a skip link to the main content. The navigation is a list of links with a current-page marker, so a reader can move without a pointer. Figures carry a written label, and photographs carry alternative text. Text stays in relative units, so a reader who enlarges type is not forced to pan sideways.

Table 1. Accessibility features by area.
Area	Feature
Structure	One top heading, ordered lower headings
Navigation	Skip link, current-page marker
Figures	Written labels, vector shapes
Photographs	Alternative text on every image
Text	Relative units, high contrast

Contrast and colour

The palette pairs a near-black ink with a light background and keeps body copy far above the minimum contrast ratio. Colour is never the only way a state is shown; the current page also carries a marker and a heavier weight.

Known limits

The data tables are wide by nature. On a very narrow screen a table may scroll inside its own region rather than reflow. Vector figures carry a written label but not a long written equivalent of every value; where a figure matters, the same values recur in the surrounding prose or in a table.

Feedback

Report a barrier through the contact sheet or by mail. A report names the page, the reader used and the step that failed, so the fix can be checked the same way.

Reading without a pointer

A reader who moves by keyboard can reach every link, every summary and every field in a fixed order, and the skip link at the top jumps straight to the main content. The pipeline spine is a list of links, so a reader can move stage by stage without a pointer and can always tell which sheet is open from the current marker.

Comparing tables

The data tables are wide by nature, because a comparison of codecs, containers or rungs needs several columns. Each table carries a caption and a header row, so a reader can follow a column by name. On a narrow screen a wide table scrolls inside its own region rather than forcing the whole page sideways.
