This statement was compiled on 14 September 2020. The statement is based on:
- an assessment carried out by a third party
- our own assessment that most of the problems the third party discovered in their assessment have been corrected according to the instructions of the third party.
The statement was last revised on 23 January 2024.
How accessible this service is
This online service is only partially compliant with the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services 306/2019, due to the non-compliance listed below.
Inaccessible content
The following content or functions are not yet compliant with the requirements (according to the WCAG criteria), but the problems will be corrected:

The annual reports 2018 - 2020 also include inaccessible content as follows:

- (WCAG 1.4.5, 1.1.1) There is text unnecessarily in image form.
- (WCAG 1.3.1, accessibility in general) The heading structure of the pages is not logical. The names of the navigation links and the target pages do not correspond to one another.
- (WCAG 1.1.1, 2.4.4) Not all visual elements have text alternatives.
