Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: July 24, 2026
1. Our Commitment
At ScopeMed (operated by ScopeMed BV), we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or technology. We believe that all users should have equal access to information and services, and we strive to create an inclusive digital environment.
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure that it meets or exceeds the standards set by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
2. Accessibility Features
Our website includes the following accessibility features to ensure a better experience for all users:
Keyboard Navigation
Our website can be fully navigated using a keyboard alone. All interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are accessible via the Tab key, and active elements are visually highlighted.
Screen Reader Compatibility
Our code is structured to work with popular screen readers (including JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver). We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and proper heading structures to ensure content is announced correctly.
Text Readability & Contrast
We use high-contrast color combinations, clear typography, and scalable text to ensure content is readable by users with low vision or color blindness. All text can be resized using browser zoom functions.
Alternative Text for Images
All meaningful images on our website include descriptive alternative text (alt text) to ensure that users with visual impairments can understand the content through screen readers.
Clear Navigation & Structure
Our pages have a logical structure with clear headings, consistent navigation menus, and descriptive link text. This helps users with cognitive disabilities to understand and navigate our content easily.
3. Accessibility Standards
We aim to comply with the following standards:
- WCAG 2.1 Level AA — Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1, Level AA conformance.
- EN 301 549 — European standard for ICT accessibility requirements.
- Section 508 — US federal accessibility requirements (where applicable).
- ADA Title III — Americans with Disabilities Act compliance (where applicable).
We regularly test our website using automated tools (such as WAVE, Lighthouse, and axe) and manual testing to identify and address accessibility barriers.
4. Compatibility with Assistive Technologies
Our website is designed to be compatible with:
- Screen Readers: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack
- Speech Recognition: Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Windows Speech Recognition
- Keyboard-only Navigation: All major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
- Zoom & Magnification Tools: All major browsers with native zoom functionality
Note: Our website is tested on the latest versions of all major browsers and operating systems.
5. Limitations & Known Issues
Despite our best efforts, some parts of our website may not be fully accessible due to limitations in existing technology or third-party integrations. We are actively working to address the following known issues:
- PDF Documents: Some older PDF files may not be fully screen-reader accessible. We are in the process of updating all documents to accessible formats.
- Third-Party Tools: Some embedded third-party widgets (such as payment gateways) may have limited accessibility. We are working with our partners to improve these integrations.
- Video Content: Some video content may not have captions or transcripts yet. We are adding these features to all new content.
If you encounter any accessibility barriers, please contact us (see section 7 below) — we take all reports seriously and will address them promptly.

Here is how we are working to improve:
