Accessibility statement

To enable all audiences to electronically sign documents with Yousign, we have committed to a process of improving the accessibility of our solution, focusing our efforts on the signing experience (electronically signing a document).

Compliance status

The signing experience offered by Yousign is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1 level AA, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Test results

The compliance audit conducted by Temesis reveals that:

  • 91 % of the WCAG version 2.1 A and AA criteria are met
  • 30 criteria are compliant
  • 3 criteria are non-compliant
  • 17 criteria are not applicable

Non-accessible content

Non-compliances

  • User-generated content (e.g., a PDF to be signed written in French or a "read and approved" mention) is not translated even if the user changes the interface language.


Exemptions due to disproportionate burden

  • When a user places a radio button in a PDF document to be signed, they position it next to the corresponding text in the PDF. From an accessibility standpoint, this generates a non-compliance because the radio button component is not technically associated with the text.
  • More generally, signed PDFs present numerous non-compliances due to the addition of inaccessible visual elements.

Establishment of this accessibility statement

This statement was established on June 9, 2023.
