Our portal has been designed and realized with due regard for the recommendation in terms of accessibility provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), as part of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), in accordance with the principle of universality.
In order to make the portal accessible we also have referred to the technical requirements provided for in Annex A to the Ministerial Decree of 8 July 2005 (updated to the MD of 20 March 2013) implementing Law 4/2004 "Disposition to promote the access of disabled people to the information systems tools", and in any way compliant to the WCAG 2.0 of W3C level AA (WCAG2.0).
For the assessment of the degree of accessibility of the resource forming part of the portal have been used helper applications (object-oriented) for the validation, along with the results of the verification (subject-oriented) on the part of the interested users (SDA) and the contribution of qualified personnel.
