The accessibility on the biomassa-atlas.luke.fi website

This is the accessibility statement of the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) concerning the biomassa-atlas.luke.fi website. This statement was written on 22.9.2020.

This accessibility statement describes how the website complies with the Act on the Provision of Digital Services (306/2019), what flaws there are in the accessibility of the website and how you can send us feedback on accessibility.

Luke has assessed the accessibility of the website.

State of accessibility on the biomassa-atlas.luke.fi website

Our website partly fulfils the A and AA requirements of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. The Act on the Provision of Digital Services obligates providers of digital services to fulfil all A and AA accessibility criteria.

The fix for the deficiencies will be considered in the next more extensive site update. If necessary, modifications to improve accessibility will also be made to the existing website, taking into account the cost level and appropriateness of the modifications.

Unfulfilled accessibility requirements

Not all functions of the current website will fulfil the accessibility requirements by the recommended deadline of 23 September 2020 without significant modifications and costs. Luke has started a website update process. Our new accessible website will be released during 2021.

The significant development of our current website alongside the update process presents an unreasonable burden to Luke. This is why we will apply the exemption permitted by an unreasonable burden in accordance with Article 5 of the Web Accessibility Directive to the following until the release of the new website:

  1. Contrasts between colours and elements: Currently, the design of our website is heavily based on our graphic guidelines, and the colours we are using need to be changed in order to ensure accessibility. Furthermore, the website includes elements with an insufficient contrast. The contrast of these elements, which should be at least 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text, is too low for individuals with a low vision.
  2. Alternative text for images: The website includes many images, some of which do not have an alternative text to describes the image content using sufficient information.
  3. Pdf, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files released after 23 September 2018
  4. Tables

The following content is not accessible, as it is not governed by the accessibility legislation:

  1. PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files released after before 23 September 2018
  2. Online maps and map services
  3. Content of any third parties
