Web Accessibility Statement

At Edmund Optics^®, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including those with disabilities. We continually strive to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards to achieve this goal. Our efforts are guided by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, aiming for compliance with AA level criteria.

Steps We've Taken to Enhance Website Accessibility

We perform regular accessibility audits using both automated tools and manual testing. These audits help us identify and fix any issues, ensuring compatibility with assistive technologies like screen readers and voice navigation.

Keyboard Navigation

Ensured that all interactive elements can be accessed and used via keyboard alone.

Added Alt Text to Images

Provided descriptive alternative text for images to support screen readers.

Enhanced Color Contrast

Adjusted text and background colors to meet WCAG contrast ratio guidelines for readability.

Included ARIA Landmarks

Added Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) landmarks for better navigation and screen reader support.

Improved Form Labels

Ensured that all form fields have clear labels and instructions for assistive technology users.

Simplified Navigation

Streamlined the navigation to make it easier to find information quickly and efficiently.

Accessible Ordering: Phone Support & Live Chat
