About this statement

Conformance status - ready for professional review

Before you publish: 26 criteria cannot be decided by machine and must be assessed by you before the statement is published. The number above may change once they are.

1. Sign in at uustatus.no using your organisation access.
2. Go through the breached criteria below - they are grouped by principle, as in the form.
3. Copy the text we have written into the field «Content that breaches the criterion», and correct it where you know more than we do.
4. Answer the questions under «Criteria you must assess yourselves». Then the statement is complete.

The status levels are the Norwegian authority's own: samsvar (all relevant level A and AA criteria are met), delvis samsvar (de fleste er oppfylt), not compliant (the majority are not met). 1.2.4 Captions (Live) is not part of the Norwegian regulations, and is therefore not among the 48 criteria.

What the breaches mean for users

The breaches we found particularly affect these groups:

• Kognisjon
• Motorikk
• Screen reader
• Svaksyn
• Keyboard

The groups are derived from the actual findings, not from a generic list. Each criterion below has its own sentence on the impact for users.

Content that breaches the criteria

Bare verifiable findings appear here: machine rules, our own rules, behaviour tests in the browser and tests across pages.

Prinsipp 1. Perceivable

Prinsipp 2. Operable

Prinsipp 3. Understandable

Prinsipp 4. Robust

Criteria you must assess yourselves (26)

These criteria cannot be decided by machine. We therefore do not claim they are met. Answer the question, and enter the answer in uustatus.

• 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) Level A Does the website have audio recordings, or video without sound? Then there must be a text alternative giving the same information.

  If the criterion is breached: If the content is audio only, it is lost to deaf and hard-of-hearing users. If it is video without sound, it is lost to blind and partially sighted users.

• 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded) Level A Does the website have video where someone speaks? Then the video must be captioned.

  If the criterion is breached: Deaf and hard-of-hearing users miss what is said in the video. Captions also help everyone watching with the sound off.

• 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded) Level AA Does the website have video where something is shown without being said out loud? Then audio description is needed.

  If the criterion is breached: Blind and partially sighted users miss what is only shown visually in the video and never said out loud.

• 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence Level A Is the content read aloud in the same order as it is shown? Check columns and content moved with CSS in particular.

  If the criterion is breached: The content is read aloud in a different order than it is shown, and the meaning falls apart.

• 1.3.3 Sensory Characteristics Level A Do any instructions refer only to where something is on screen, what shape it has, or what colour it is - instead of what it is called?

  If the criterion is breached: Instructions that only point to where something is, what shape it has or what colour it is are useless to anyone who cannot see the screen.

• 1.4.1 Use of Color Level A Is colour used on its own to convey something - red fields on errors, for example, or links in running text that stand out by colour alone?

  If the criterion is breached: Information given by colour alone is lost to colour-blind users, and to anyone who has the page read aloud.

• 1.4.5 Images of Text Level AA Is there text placed as an image - posters, quotes, prices or campaigns made as graphics?

  If the criterion is breached: Text inside an image goes blurry when enlarged, and cannot be read aloud, translated or adapted by the user.

• 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast Level AA

  If the criterion is breached: Buttons, icons, form borders and graphics with weak contrast become invisible to partially sighted users, who then cannot see what is usable.

• 1.4.13 Content on Hover or Focus Level AA

  If the criterion is breached: Content that appears on hover cannot be dismissed or reached, and covers what the user is trying to read.

• 2.1.4 Character Key Shortcuts Level A Are there shortcuts using a single letter or character, without a way to switch them off or remap them?

  If the criterion is breached: Single-character shortcuts fire unintentionally from voice control and from involuntary key presses.

• 2.2.1 Timing Adjustable Level A Are there time limits - automatic sign-out, a basket that empties, a deadline in a form - that the user cannot extend?

  If the criterion is breached: Users who need more time lose what they have filled in when the time runs out without warning.

• 2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below Threshold Level A Is there animation, video or an effect that flashes more than three times per second?

  If the criterion is breached: Rapidly flashing content can trigger epileptic seizures.

• 2.4.3 Focus Order Level A

  If the criterion is breached: The tab order jumps unpredictably around the page, and the user loses track of where they are.

• 2.4.5 Multiple Ways Level AA Are there at least two ways to find content on the website - search or a site map in addition to the menu, for example?

  If the criterion is breached: Users who cannot find their way in the menu have no other route to the content, such as search or a site map.

• 2.4.6 Headings and Labels Level AA Do the headings and labels actually describe the content that follows them?

  If the criterion is breached: Vague headings and labels make it hard to find your way, and to understand what a field should contain.

• 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures Level A Does anything require swiping, pinching or drawing with a finger, without a simple alternative?

  If the criterion is breached: Functions that require swiping, pinching or drawing with a finger are unavailable to anyone with reduced fine motor control.

• 2.5.2 Pointer Cancellation Level A Are actions triggered the moment the finger touches the screen, with no way to move the finger away and cancel?

  If the criterion is breached: The action fires the moment the user touches the screen, with no way to move the finger away and cancel a mistaken press.

• 2.5.4 Motion Actuation Level A Does any function require the device to be shaken, tilted or moved?

  If the criterion is breached: Functions that require the device to be shaken or tilted are unavailable to anyone whose device is fixed in place.

• 3.1.2 Language of Parts Level AA Are there passages, quotes or expressions in a language other than the main language of the page?

  If the criterion is breached: Passages in another language are read aloud with the wrong pronunciation, and become hard to understand.

• 3.2.1 On Focus Level A Does anything change merely because an element receives keyboard focus - a menu opens, a form submits, the page changes?

  If the criterion is breached: Something changes merely because the user tabbed to an element, and the user loses their bearings.

• 3.2.2 On Input Level A Does the form submit, or the page change, by itself when the user fills in or changes a field?

  If the criterion is breached: The page changes or the form submits by itself while the user is filling it in, without being asked to.

• 3.3.1 Error Identification Level A Is the user told clearly, in text, what is wrong and in which field?

  If the criterion is breached: The user is not told what is wrong in the form, and cannot get any further.

• 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions Level A Does every field have a visible label, and are there instructions where the format is not obvious?

  If the criterion is breached: Fields without labels make it impossible to know what to fill in, especially for screen reader users.

• 3.3.3 Error Suggestion Level AA Is the user given a suggestion for how to fix the error - not just told that something is wrong?

  If the criterion is breached: The user is told that something is wrong, but not how to fix it, and gives up.

• 3.3.4 Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) Level AA Can binding submissions - payment, an application, deletion of data - be reviewed, confirmed or undone?

  If the criterion is breached: Binding submissions cannot be checked or undone, and a mistake has financial or legal consequences for the user.

• 4.1.3 Status Messages Level AA Are status messages announced by screen readers - «saved», «3 results», error messages that appear without the page reloading?

  If the criterion is breached: Messages such as «saved» or «3 results» are never announced, so the screen reader user believes nothing happened.

Testing and assessment of the website

We have tested and assessed the website ourselves.

How we tested: established machine rules (axe-core) and our own rules against the code, behaviour tests in a real browser (keyboard navigation, visible focus, 200 % text, 320 px screen width), tests across the pages (consistent navigation and identification), and deterministic checks of the judgement-based criteria where they can be measured. No AI and no external language model is used. Criteria that cannot be decided by machine are listed above, not guessed at.

Complaints

Do you experience errors or shortcomings in the accessibility of the website? Contact us first:

[Contact email or a link to a feedback form]  ·  [Phone]

If you do not get a satisfactory answer, you can complain to Diskrimineringsnemnda, the Norwegian tribunal that handles user complaints about failures to meet ICT accessibility requirements.

Digitaliseringsdirektoratet - the Norwegian Authority for Universal Design of ICT (uutilsynet) is the supervisory authority and enforces the regulations. It does not handle individual user complaints; Diskrimineringsnemnda does.

Status explanations

Exemptions you must assess

No scanner can fill in these two fields of the statement - they require knowledge of the organisation and the content. Breaches of the criteria are further up, under «Content that breaches the criteria».

C. Disproportionate burden

An exemption is allowed when the requirements impose a burden that prevents the organisation from carrying out its core tasks. The assessment looks at the effect on users, the nature of the organisation, costs, size and resources. If you claim this, it must be justified in the statement.

[List content you claim a disproportionate burden for, with justification - or «Not applicable»]

D. Content outside the scope of the regulations

[For example third-party content you do not control, or live media - or «Not applicable»]
