Accessibility statement
What is digital accessibility?
An accessible website is one that allows people with disabilities to access its content and functionality without any difficulty.
For example, an accessible website allows users to:
- Navigate it using a speech synthesizer and/or a Braille display (used by blind and visually impaired people).
- Personalise how the site is displayed to suit their particular needs (use larger or smaller characters, change colours, etc.).
- Navigate it without using a mouse (using only the keyboard, a touch screen, voice commands or any other suitable device).
To this end, the website must comply with standards in force at the time it is created and updated.
Accessibility statement
The AMF undertakes to make its websites (internet, intranet and extranet), software packages, mobile applications and digital street furniture accessible in accordance with Article 47 of French law 2005-102 of 11 February 2005.
This accessibility statement applies to the https://www.amf-france.org/ website.
- An initial accessibility statement was issued on 20 October 2020 following the launch of the new AMF website. The compliance audit carried out by Atalan revealed that the website meets 77% of the RGAA version 4.0 criteria.
- To check that accessibility is continuously improving and take into account new features added to the website between the end of October 2020 and March 2021 (AMF General Regulation and policy documents), a second compliance audit was carried out in January 2022. It confirmed that the AMF had made significant progress in terms of accessibility.
