Section 1194.21 Software Applications and Operating Systems—Detail
Criteria |
Remarks & Explanations |
| (a) When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually. | Commands can be accessed through the keyboard using the CTRL, ALT, TAB, arrow keys as well as keyboard shortcuts. However, icon-driven commands and all graphical interactions require use of the mouse. |
| (b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer. | No features of any other products or operating systems are disrupted or disabled by Versasec. |
| (c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus shall be provided that moves among interactive interface elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology can track focus and focus changes. | The system provides on-screen indication of the current focus (box highlighting, reverse bold, etc.) in various areas throughout the application. |
| (d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text. | Where icons are used as interface elements the information is also available as text. |
| (e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent throughout an application’s performance. | The user interface consistently uses images to identify controls, status indicators, or other programmatic elements. |
| (f) Textual information shall be provided through operating system functions for displaying text. The minimum information that shall be made available is text content, text input caret location, and text attributes. | Standard operating system functions are used to output text. Output is available as plain ASCII text. Text input location at the text input caret is set and available using standard operating system functions. |
| (g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast and color selections and other individual display attributes. | Application does not override user selected contrast and color selections. |
| (h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be displayable in at least one non-animated presentation mode at the option of the user. | Not applicable. No animations used |
| (i) Color coding shall not be used as the only means of conveying information, indicating an action, prompting a response, or distinguishing a visual element. | Where color coding is used a textual alternative is given. |
| (j) When a product permits a user to adjust color and contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided. | Versasec uses the contrast and color settings from the operative system. |
| (k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects, or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz. | No flashing or blinking objects. |
| (l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow people using Assistive Technology to access the information, field elements, and functionality required for completion and submission of the form, including all directions and cues. | Standard operating system features are used to allow the completion and submission of the form and field elements. |
