Standards Compliance

We strive to comply with the W3C WAI's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines and aim for our pages to conform to a minimum of Level A compliance. Wherever possible, level AA and AAA requirements are also met.

All pages use structured, semantic XHTML, relying entirely on CSS for presentation.

While we use Automated tests to test for accessibility, it is just one aspect of our testing procedure. Automated tests are not as reliable as expert evaluation.

How do I access PDF files?

Portable Document Format (PDF) files preserve all the fonts, formatting, graphics, and color of a printed document once it is placed on a website. Several documents on our website are provided in PDF format. We have provided a link to download the free Acrobat reader on every page.
