Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment

SRL SCALELAW SOLUTIONS, operating under the Applexium brand, is committed to providing a digital environment that is inclusive and accessible to all users, regardless of their physical, cognitive, or technological capabilities.

This Accessibility Statement covers the applexium.com website and describes the current level of conformance, known limitations, and contact details for reporting accessibility issues.

Conformance Level of applexium.com

The applexium.com website is informational in nature (a digital business card) and is not directly subject to EU Directive 2016/2102, which applies mandatorily to public sector entities.

Nevertheless, Applexium voluntarily adopts the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard as a quality benchmark for its own website, in line with the company's values and commitment to digital inclusion.

Conformant elements

• Correct semantic HTML structure (hierarchical headings H1–H4);
• Sufficient color contrast between text and background (minimum ratio 4.5:1);
• Responsive design — usable on mobile, tablet, and desktop devices;
• Functional keyboard navigation for main elements;
• Alternative text (alt text) for informational images;
• Contact form with clear labels and descriptive error messages;

Readable fonts and scalable text sizes.

Reporting Accessibility Issues

We are committed to reviewing every report and implementing the necessary technical solutions within a reasonable timeframe.

PART II — Accessibility in Products Built for Clients

Legal Obligations of EU Institutional Clients

Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies requires all public entities in EU member states to comply with the WCAG 2.1 Level AA standard for all digital platforms they operate.

When Applexium builds a digital product for an EU public institution, compliance with Directive 2016/2102 and the WCAG 2.1 AA standard is integrated into the development process — not added as an afterthought.

What We Deliver to Institutional Clients

Whether the client is an EU public institution or an entity from the Republic of Moldova, Applexium applies the same accessibility quality standard:

Pre-launch accessibility audit

Prior to launching any digital product, the Applexium team conducts an accessibility audit verifying:

• Perceivability — content visible and audible to all users (alt text, contrast, captions);
• Operability — complete keyboard navigation, no focus traps, sufficient time for actions;
• Understandability — plain language, predictable UI behavior, form completion assistance;

Robustness — compatibility with assistive technologies (screen readers: NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver).

Accessibility Statement for the client's product

Applexium drafts and delivers the product-specific Accessibility Statement — a mandatory document under EU Directive 2016/2102 — which includes:

• The declared WCAG conformance level;
• A list of non-conformant elements with justifications (where applicable);
• The feedback mechanism and contact details;

The date of issue and annual review schedule.

Remediation and maintenance

Through technical maintenance contracts, Applexium ensures continuous monitoring of accessibility compliance and remediation of any regressions introduced by content or code updates.

Why This Matters for Clients in the Republic of Moldova

Although EU Directive 2016/2102 is not currently directly binding in the Republic of Moldova, the national and European context makes digital accessibility increasingly relevant:

Applexium recommends that all institutional clients in the Republic of Moldova proactively adopt the WCAG 2.1 AA standard for the following practical reasons:

Future-proofing or adopting the standard now avoids significant remediation costs once it becomes legally mandatory;

Access to EU funding or EU-funded digital projects require accessibility compliance — conformance opens new opportunities;

Responsibility toward citizens or people with disabilities represent approximately 15% of the population — an inaccessible public digital service systematically excludes a significant portion of its beneficiaries;

Reputation and quality. WCAG 2.1 AA is an internationally recognized indicator of digital maturity.

Technical Reference Standard

All digital products built by Applexium for institutional clients comply with or aim to comply with:

Upon request, Applexium can provide clients with detailed audit reports (VPAT — Voluntary Product Accessibility Template), widely used in EU and US public procurement processes.
