Accessibility Statement


We are committed to providing a high level of accessibility.

We have developed this and other web sites to widely recognised standards and implemented many ease of use features:

How to resize text: in  Internet Explorer on the Mac/PC go to View on the top menu bar of the browser, scroll down and select Text Size, then select the required text size. For  Firefox  Opera and Mac  Chrome go to View in the top bar of the browser, then select Text Zoom, and choose the required text size.

For   Safari go to View in the top bar of the browser, then choose Make text bigger or Make text smaller in the dropdown.
How to disable the style sheet: in  Internet Explorer on the Mac/PC go to Tools on the top menu bar, Internet Options, then select the Accessibility tab. Click the top three boxes in the popup window. If you wish to attach your own style sheet, this can be done using the bottom half of this popup window.

For  Internet Explorer on the Mac under the Explorer menu, select Preferences, Web Browser then Web Content.



In the Page Content area, clear the checkboxes next to the items to be enabled or disabled, including the style sheet.

For (Mac) under the  Safari menu, select Preferences then advanced.   Other style sheets can be attached here.

Hyperlinked text has been written to clearly describe the target links, and therefore should be understandable even when removed from context.

Both a product index list and search engine(s) have been provided, and lists and links all the pages on the website.

Skip links, which enable screen-reading software to bypass repetitive navigation links, have been implemented.

In general, web pages have been constructed in one, or two, or three-column layout. The left hand column always contains navigation menus; the middle column always contains the principal page content, and the right hand column (if used) contains information panels and links to other material. Visitors using certain screen-reading software should set that software to column detection mode.

The site(s) makes extensive use of   Word   PowerPoint   Excel   Movie, and   PDF  Adobe InDesign and   ePub documents  for press releases, technical documents and guides, and other informative material.
