Accessibility Statement

1. Statement of Intent

Flodraulic Industrial 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 flodraulicindustrial.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 flodraulicindustrial.com, any currently known limitations, the monitoring and continuous improvement activities implemented by Flodraulic Industrial 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 flodraulicindustrial.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.

Partial compliance was determined on the basis of an accessibility audit conducted on 15/05/2026, including an automated analysis using Google Lighthouse and manual tests performed with assistive technologies, such as keyboard-only navigation, the VoiceOver screen reader on macOS and iOS, and NVDA on Windows. The audit was carried out in accordance with the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA criteria.

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

Brand logos on the Brands page (WCAG criterion 1.1.1 — Non-text Content).
The logos of the brands represented by the company, displayed on the Brands page, do not include descriptive alternative text. As a result, information about the brands represented by the company, which constitutes the main content of the page, is not communicated to users who rely on screen readers.

Energy consumption chart in the case study (WCAG criterion 1.1.1 — Non-text Content).
In the case study dedicated to Fonderia Ghirlandina, the chart illustrating energy consumption trends does not include alternative text. The data represented in the chart are not reproduced in the page text and are therefore entirely inaccessible to users who rely on screen readers.

Embedded YouTube videos on the corporate pages (WCAG criterion 4.1.2 — Name, Role, Value).
The presentation videos embedded through a YouTube player on the Company and Flodraulic Group pages do not include labels describing their 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 hierarchy (WCAG criterion 1.3.1 — Info and Relationships).
On the Applications and News pages and on the job posting pages, the heading hierarchy contains discontinuities: the level of secondary headings does not follow the expected progression, affecting content navigation through the exploration tools used by screen readers.

Empty section headings (WCAG criterion 1.3.1 — Info and Relationships).
The Brands page and the application-sector page template 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 corporate pages 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 accompanying text transcripts for 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, solution and application-sector pages, 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.
