Infonote Datasystems Ltd is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
1. Our Commitment
We believe that the web should be accessible to all users, regardless of ability. We strive to ensure that our website and the CoreLIMS application meet or exceed the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience that allows all users to access information and functionality equally.
2. Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following accessibility features across our website and application:
2.1 Navigation
- Skip navigation links to bypass repetitive content
- Consistent and logical page structure
- Clear heading hierarchy (H1-H6)
- Keyboard-accessible navigation and interactive elements
- Visible focus indicators for keyboard users
2.2 Content
- Semantic HTML markup for proper screen reader interpretation
- Descriptive alt text for meaningful images
- Empty alt attributes for decorative images
- Clear and simple language throughout
- Proper labelling of form fields
2.3 Visual Design
- Sufficient colour contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text)
- Text resizing support up to 200% without loss of functionality

4. Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:
- Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible. We are working to remediate these.
- Third-party content embedded on our site may not meet our accessibility standards.
- Some complex data visualisations may require additional context for screen reader users.
We are actively working to address these limitations and improve accessibility across all our content.
5. Testing and Compliance
We regularly test our website and application for accessibility using:
- Automated testing tools (axe DevTools, WAVE)
- Manual keyboard testing
