Accessibility Statement
What we test, what we have fixed, and what we have not yet verified.

Our target
We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across this application. That is a target we test against, not a certification we have been awarded.
What we actually test
An automated accessibility suite runs against the application's pages and fails the build on violations. Colour contrast is calculated with the W3C relative-luminance formula rather than judged by eye — every interface colour pair is measured, and a pair that falls below the required ratio is changed, not shipped. Keyboard operation is tested by walking the interface with a keyboard only.
Choices we have made deliberately
Controls are real buttons and links, never clickable containers, so they are reachable by keyboard and announced correctly. Icons that carry meaning have text alternatives; decorative ones are hidden from screen readers rather than read aloud as noise. State is never conveyed by colour alone. Collapsible sections use native browser disclosure, so they work with JavaScript disabled and report their open or closed state without us having to describe it.
What we have not verified
Automated testing catches perhaps a third of real accessibility problems. This application has not yet had a full manual audit with screen-reader users — NVDA, JAWS or VoiceOver — and we will not claim conformance we have not tested for. Some pages built before our current standards may still contain issues we have not found.
Tell us if something blocks you
If any part of this application is difficult or impossible for you to use, email admin@semrs.com and describe what happened and what you were using. We treat that as a defect report, not feedback. If you need information that is trapped in an inaccessible page, we will send it to you in a format that works for you.
This page describes how SEMRS actually operates. It is written to match this system's documented practices rather than generic boilerplate, but it is not legal advice, and a qualified review is recommended before relying on it in a dispute.
