The body making the statement “Réseau Immuno Rhumatologie, Luxembourg” is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the law of 28 May 2019 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies. This accessibility statement applies to: https://rir.lu/
What is digital accessibility?
Everyone should be able to easily use and consult the information on a website or an app, in particular people with disabilities and/or using assistive software or specialised equipment (blind, partially sighted or otherwise disabled people).
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the European Standard EN 301 549 and the Web Accessibility Assessment Framework (RAWeb) version 1 , due to the reasons listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reason(s):
Non-compliance
- Downloaded PDF documents (e.g. Polyarthritis questionnaire) – Probability of technical non-compliance with missing textual alternatives and incomplete markup
- External e-learning modules (myrheumajourney.rir.lu, meinrheumaweg.rir.lu, minhareumatrajectoria.rir.lu) – Primarily textual content but accessibility features not guaranteed
- Absence of directly configurable dark mode/enhanced contrast mode on the site – Accessibility feature not available
- Absence of alternative media – No subtitles or audio description for conferences/webinars
- External links or hospital partners – Accessibility not guaranteed by RIR on third-party sites (HRS, CHL, CHdN, CHEM, etc.)
- Dropdown menus and filters (articles/news/pathologies) – Keyboard navigation good but “Filter by pathology” checkbox key to be checked
- Alternatives: Contact available for personalized assistance on request. Users can request assistance or alternative formats. Major content available in EN, DE, PT. External multilingual textual modules but accessibility not guaranteed, certain external resources subject to exemption under May 28, 2019 law.
Disproportionate burden
- External third-party modules – Complete compliance of integrated third-party components would represent a disproportionate burden within the meaning of Article 4 of the law of May 28, 2019, requiring complete redevelopment or replacement with unavailable alternatives
- Legacy PDF documents – Converting all existing PDF documents to fully accessible formats would represent a disproportionate burden given the volume and technical complexity
- Alternatives: Personalized assistance available on request to access content from affected modules or documents
Accessibility features
The site presents several accessibility features according to RAWeb 1 audit: – “Skip to content” link present to facilitate navigation – Accessible menu with logical structure and keyboard navigation – Color contrasts meeting accessibility standards – Functional keyboard navigation throughout the site – Semantic HTML structure enabling good use of assistive technologies – Coherent heading hierarchy to facilitate navigation
