Accessibility Statement

1. Statement of Intent

Flodraulic Motion Systems S.r.l. recognises digital accessibility as an essential element in ensuring an inclusive, clear and user-friendly browsing experience for the broadest possible number of users, regardless of their individual abilities or the technologies they use.

The company is committed to progressively improving the accessibility of the website flodraulicmotionsystems.com by adopting technical and organisational solutions based on the principles set out in Italian Law No. 4 of 9 January 2004, the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and the UNI CEI EN 301549 standard. The company also takes into account the principles introduced by Directive (EU) 2019/882, known as the European Accessibility Act, transposed into Italian law through Legislative Decree No. 82 of 27 May 2022.

This statement describes the accessibility status of the website flodraulicmotionsystems.com, any currently known limitations, the monitoring and continuous improvement activities implemented by Flodraulic Motion Systems S.r.l., and the methods through which users may report accessibility issues or request assistance relating to digital accessibility.

2. Compliance Status

The website flodraulicmotionsystems.com is partially compliant with the requirements set out in the UNI CEI EN 301549 standard and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA due to the non-compliance issues listed below.

The identified issues do not prevent users from accessing the website’s main content, but may limit the use of specific features through assistive technologies.

The accessibility assessment was carried out through an audit conducted on 18/05/2026, including automated analyses and manual checks performed using assistive technologies, such as keyboard-only navigation, the VoiceOver screen reader on macOS and iOS, and NVDA on Windows.

The checks were conducted in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA criteria established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The audit was conducted on the English-language version of the website, which is its primary version. The technical accessibility barriers described in this statement relate to the shared theme and templates and are therefore also present in a similar manner on the Italian-language version of the website.

3. Non-accessible Content

The content listed below is not accessible due to non-compliance with Italian Law No. 4 of 9 January 2004. The description is provided in non-technical language, with reference to the WCAG 2.1 AA criteria that are not currently met.

3.1 Non-compliance with Applicable Legislation

Logo links on the Products page (WCAG criteria 2.4.4 — Link Purpose and 4.1.2 — Name, Role, Value).
The Products page displays the distributed brands and technology partners as clickable logos. These links do not include a text label or alternative text for the image. As a result, users who rely on screen readers do not receive any information about the destination of the links, and the entire product page appears as a sequence of links that cannot be identified.

Embedded YouTube video on the Company page (WCAG criterion 4.1.2 — Name, Role, Value).
The presentation video embedded through a YouTube player on the Company page does not include a label describing its content to users who rely on screen readers.

Colour contrast of the introductory text on the Flodraulic Group page (WCAG criterion 1.4.3 — Contrast Minimum).
The introductory text on the Flodraulic Group page, displayed in white over a background image, does not ensure sufficient contrast. Readability is reduced for users with visual impairments, colour perception disorders or those browsing in bright-light conditions.

Heading structure on the job posting page (WCAG criterion 1.3.1 — Info and Relationships).
On the job posting page, a text element serving as a section heading is formatted as bold text rather than as a heading element. Users who rely on screen readers cannot reach this section using heading navigation tools, and the logical structure of the content is therefore weakened.

Empty section headings (WCAG criterion 1.3.1 — Info and Relationships).
Several website pages and shared templates contain heading elements without any textual content. Screen readers nevertheless announce them as headings, creating navigation elements that do not lead to any content and may disorient users.

Landmark structure (WCAG criterion 1.3.1 — Info and Relationships).
Some content blocks, particularly the call-to-action sections displayed at the bottom of several pages and the reCAPTCHA anti-spam widget, are not included within the semantic regions, or landmarks, of the page. This reduces navigation efficiency for users who rely on screen-reader landmark navigation features.

Editorial widget on the News page (WCAG criteria 1.4.3 — Contrast Minimum and 1.4.1 — Use of Color).
The News page includes a third-party widget displaying the content published by the company on LinkedIn. Within this widget, several links and buttons do not meet the required minimum contrast ratio, and one link can be identified only by its colour. As this component is provided by an external supplier, corrective action requires changes to the widget settings or its replacement.

3.2 Disproportionate Burden

No cases of non-compliance due to disproportionate burden are currently declared pursuant to Article 3-ter of Italian Law No. 4 of 9 January 2004.

3.3 Third-party Components

The website includes third-party components, particularly the YouTube video player used on the Company page and the LinkedIn content aggregation widget used on the News page. Some of their accessibility features cannot be directly controlled by the service provider, as these components are supplied by external providers.

Mitigation measures are currently being assessed, including the provision of an accompanying text transcript for the video content and the review or replacement of the editorial widget.

4. Preparation of the Accessibility Statement

This statement was prepared on 28/05/2026. The assessment methodology involved a combination of automated analyses using scanning tools, including Google Lighthouse, and manual testing with assistive technologies, specifically:

• complete keyboard-only navigation of the website, including checks on the tab order and the visibility of the focus indicator;
• testing with the VoiceOver screen reader on macOS and iOS;
• testing with the NVDA screen reader on Windows.

The analysis was conducted on a representative sample of website pages, including the homepage, corporate pages, the Products page, the Services page, the pages within the Systems section, the editorial section, legal pages and the 404 error page.

Technical documentation relating to the website’s accessibility testing and monitoring activities is retained by the service provider.

This statement will be reviewed annually and whenever substantial changes to the website — whether structural, functional, technological or layout-related — may affect compliance with accessibility requirements.
