ACCESSIBILITY

ADECAT – ASSOCIACIO DE DECOLLETADORS I MECANITZADORS DE CATALUNYA is committed to making its website accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of their abilities, the device they use or their access conditions.

This accessibility statement applies to the following website:

[www.adecat.org](https://www.adecat.org)

Accessibility status

ADECAT works to ensure that the website is perceivable, operable, understandable and robust, and that it progressively complies with recognised digital accessibility criteria.

At the time of publication of this statement, a full external audit certifying a specific level of compliance has not been carried out. Therefore, some pages, documents or features may still present accessibility difficulties.

ADECAT maintains an ongoing review and improvement process for the website in order to identify and correct any potential accessibility issues.

Content that may present accessibility difficulties

Certain content may not be fully accessible, particularly:

  • PDF documents or office files that do not have an accessible structure.
  • Documents containing complex tables, charts or visual elements.
  • Older content that has not yet been reviewed or adapted.
  • Images that do not have sufficiently descriptive alternative text.
  • Videos or audiovisual content that do not include subtitles, transcripts or audio descriptions.
  • Content embedded through third-party services or platforms.
  • Forms, menus or other interactive elements that may occasionally present difficulties when navigating with a keyboard or assistive technologies.
  • Animated elements or content changes that may not include all the necessary controls.

ADECAT will work to correct any identified issues whenever technically possible and provided that doing so does not impose a disproportionate burden.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This accessibility statement was prepared on 20 July 2026.

The statement will be reviewed periodically and whenever significant changes are made to the design, structure or features of the website.

Requesting accessible information

When a person is unable to access content or a document published on the website, they may request that the information be provided in an accessible alternative format, provided that this is reasonable and technically possible.

The request must clearly identify the affected content and explain the accessibility difficulty.

ADECAT will assess each request and endeavour to provide an appropriate response or alternative as soon as possible.

Measures adopted to improve accessibility

The measures that ADECAT aims to apply in the design, development and maintenance of the website include:

  • Providing alternative text for informative images.
  • Structuring content using hierarchical headings.
  • Separating content from presentation by using style sheets.
  • Using a responsive design suitable for computers, tablets and mobile devices.
  • Enabling keyboard navigation whenever possible.
  • Using descriptive and understandable link text.
  • Ensuring that information is not conveyed solely through colour.
  • Providing sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds.
  • Using a legible text size and allowing text to be enlarged.
  • Properly labelling form fields.
  • Avoiding the unnecessary use of animations or automatic movement.
  • Using semantic HTML code and recognised web standards.
  • Progressively reviewing published documents and content.

Compatibility with browsers and assistive technologies

The website is designed to work with the latest versions of the main web browsers and with commonly used assistive technologies.

However, using older or outdated browsers may prevent certain features or content from being displayed correctly.

Users are advised to use a recent browser version and to keep their operating system and assistive technologies up to date.

Continuous improvement

ADECAT considers accessibility to be an important part of the website’s overall quality.

For this reason, the content, templates and features of the website will be reviewed periodically, particularly when new pages are published or significant changes are made.

The aim is to identify existing barriers and progressively implement the necessary improvements.
