Partial conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
This means the majority of our pages meet the AA criteria, but some content or components do not fully conform yet. We are actively working to close the remaining gaps. We re-review accessibility every quarter.
Our review uses a combination of:
- Automated tools (Lighthouse, axe DevTools)
- Manual keyboard-only testing
- Screen reader testing with NVDA, JAWS and VoiceOver
- Colour contrast verification with WebAIM Contrast Checker
- Real-user feedback (we treat every accessibility report as a priority bug)
What accessibility features does JP Sheet have?
Across the site, we have built in the following:
Keyboard navigationAll interactive elements (forms, buttons, links) work without a mouse — Tab, Shift+Tab, Enter, Space.
Screen reader friendlySemantic HTML5, proper heading hierarchy, ARIA labels where needed.
Image alt textEvery image on the site has descriptive alt text.
Sufficient colour contrastBody text meets WCAG AA contrast ratio (4.5:1 minimum).
Responsive designPages reflow for mobile, tablet, desktop, and high-zoom (up to 400%).
Respects user preferencesHonours system font-size, reduced-motion, and dark-mode preferences.
No auto-playing mediaNo audio or video plays without user action.
Focus indicatorsVisible focus rings on every interactive element when tabbed to.
Skip-to-contentKeyboard users can skip past the navigation directly to the page content.
Cookie banner accessibilityCookie consent dialog uses ARIA role="dialog" and aria-live for screen readers.
Form labelsEvery form input has an associated label, not just a placeholder.
Error messagesForm errors are announced clearly and associated with the relevant field.
What accessibility issues do we know about?
Honest disclosure of what we're still working on:
Chatbot keyboard focusThe AI chatbot widget may not correctly manage keyboard focus when it opens and closes. We are working on a fix for this. Workaround: close the chatbot with Escape, then continue tabbing.
Some PDF reports not fully taggedVerification reports delivered as PDFs may not have fully-tagged structure for screen readers. The HTML version of every report is fully accessible — please request the HTML link if you need it.
Third-party widgetsEmbedded YouTube videos, Stripe Elements, and PayPal buttons follow their providers' accessibility levels. We link to those providers' accessibility statements below.
Complex tables on country pagesSome import-cost comparison tables may not yet have full row/column header semantics. We are restructuring these as part of our 2026 review.
If you encounter any other barrier, please tell us — see the contact section below.
Which assistive technologies do we test with?
We test JP Sheet with the following combinations on each quarterly review:
- Screen readers: NVDA (Windows + Firefox / Chrome), JAWS (Windows + Chrome), VoiceOver (macOS Safari, iOS Safari)
- Browser zoom: 200%, 400%
- Operating-system text scaling: Windows scaling 150%, macOS large text, iOS Dynamic Type
- Keyboard-only navigation: Tab order, focus management, dialog handling
- Reduced motion preference: Animations and transitions disabled when the OS requests reduced motion
If you use a technology not in this list and something doesn't work, please tell us — we will add it to our test suite.
What about third-party content?
Some elements on JP Sheet are provided by third parties and follow those providers' accessibility commitments:
Which accessibility laws and standards does JP Sheet aim to meet?
Our WCAG 2.1 AA target covers the substantive requirements of the major accessibility laws worldwide:
- EU Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882, in force from June 2025)
- UK Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 (we follow the same standard voluntarily)
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) — Title III, as interpreted for websites by US courts
- Section 508 of the US Rehabilitation Act
- AODA (Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act)
- EN 301 549 (European harmonised standard for ICT accessibility)
The European Accessibility Act
The EAA applies to online services sold into the European Union, and came into force in June 2025.
We sell reports to buyers across Europe, so it applies to us.
The standard it points to is EN 301 549, which for a website means WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the
same target we already work to. We are not treating this as a separate project; it is the same bar, with a legal
deadline attached.
Where we fall short, we say so in the known issues above rather than claiming full conformance.
A statement that claims perfection is worth nothing to someone who then hits a barrier.
Are the VIN reports accessible?
They are built to the same standard as the rest of the site, and the design choices were made with
this in mind.
Findings are never carried by colour alone. A red section also says “RECORD FOUND” in
text. A green tick is also labelled. Someone who cannot distinguish the colours still gets the finding.
The summary at the top is plain language. Eight questions in ordinary English — “Was it
ever written off?”, “Is the mileage genuine?” — each with a direct answer. That is better for a
screen reader and better for everyone else too.
Tables scroll inside their own box, so a phone never scrolls sideways, and the page can be zoomed
to 200% without losing content.
If something in a report is unreachable for you, email us and we will read it to you. A person, not
a form. That is the backstop while we keep improving the page itself.
If anything on JP Sheet is hard for you to access — a button you can't reach with a keyboard, text you can't enlarge, a form your screen reader can't navigate — please tell us. We treat accessibility reports as priority bugs.
♿ Report an access difficulty
Email us with subject "Accessibility" and we will acknowledge within 48 hours, with a fix or workaround.
Email [email protected]
What to include:
- The URL of the page where you ran into the issue
- What you were trying to do
- What happened (or didn't happen)

We will respond within 48 hours with either a fix, a workaround, or a timeline. If we can't fix the issue immediately, we will help you complete your task by another route — for example, by processing your verification order over email rather than the website.
