Updated: February 2025.
Thermionics Laboratory, Inc. is committed to providing an inclusive and accessible digital experience for all visitors to our website, which was designed and developed by our digital partners 1905 New Media. We continually strive to improve the user experience for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
Conformance Status
1905 New Media has self-evaluated the website to ensure conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. While we aim to maintain full compliance, there may be some areas of the website that have nonconformance, known or unknown. We continuously work to improve our website and address these issues as they are identified.
Known Nonconformance
Despite our efforts to ensure full compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, we acknowledge that some areas of our website may have accessibility limitations. The following list details known nonconformance issues, along with our plans for addressing them:
- Link discernment and keyboard navigation: Some parts of the website may have limited keyboard navigation functionality due to some elements and links missing labels and incorrect use of landmarks, making it difficult for users who rely on keyboard-only navigation. We are actively working to identify and fix these issues.
- Color Contrast: Some text and background color combinations on the website may not meet the minimum contrast ratio required by WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are in the process of reviewing and adjusting the color contrast to ensure better readability for users with visual impairments.
Forms: Some forms contain inputs with missing information such as appropriate labels, making the forms difficult to navigate and possibly difficult to understand. We are in the process of reviewing and correcting form interactions and fields.
