Article 47 of Law No. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005, on equal rights and opportunities, participation, and citizenship for all, requires all online public communication services to be accessible to everyone.
Digital accessibility is a key concern in the development and provision of websites and applications, both for the public and for Novagenetic’s internal staff.
This commitment is illustrated by the development of this multi-year digital accessibility plan, combined with annual action plans, with the aim of supporting compliance with the RGAA (General Reference Framework for Accessibility Improvement) and the gradual improvement of the websites and applications concerned.
The accessibility officer is responsible for developing, monitoring, and updating this multi-year plan.
Their mission is to promote accessibility by disseminating standards and best practices, supporting internal teams through training initiatives, monitoring and ensuring compliance with Law No. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005, either directly or through specialized consultants, to ensure that user requests are handled and, in general, to ensure the quality of service provided to users with disabilities.
Taking digital accessibility into account requires adapting the internal organization of production and management of the websites and applications concerned, providing support to staff, modifying market procedures, and, finally, assisting people with disabilities when they report difficulties.
The elements below describe the key points that Novagenetic will focus on to improve the digital accessibility of all its websites and applications.
Novagenetic integrates accessibility as a component of projects currently under development, including ongoing website redesigns. Accessibility and RGAA compliance objectives are established and reiterated at the outset of projects.
Similarly, these objectives and requirements will be reiterated in any agreements established with our operators, delegates, or partners.
Rapid accessibility assessments, which will serve as a basis for developing audit interventions, have been or will be carried out on all relevant sites and applications.
These assessments focus on a small number of criteria selected for their relevance in terms of evaluating the complexity and feasibility of compliance with RGAA standards.
