•  W3C and FAE Validations

Web site pages including internal manually selected new window pages have been and are continually checked and found to be valid XHTML 1.1 and are interoperable using CSS 2.1 with logical markup reflecting the structure of documents. The web site was confirmed as being W3CAR compliant on 2005-06-24 by  Award Sites!

Web content providers are granted the right to display an HTML and CSS link, logo or icon on pages that pass automated validation using the W3C Markup Validation service but displays of such links, logos or icons may only be displayed on pages that pass validation.

The link, logo or icon should be used as a link to provide verification of the page author's assertion that it passed validation. Excluding our site entrance page (which will automatically validate when the relevant images are accessed) and all new window pages, we provide within the relevant W3C images a link to the W3C validation service where users may enter the page URL for verification.

“W3C Valid” links, logos or icons are not an endorsement by the W3C of the page's author, the substantive content of the page nor its design.

The links, logos or icons are merely a mechanism to identify pages that have been determined to be valid and to easily re-validate pages as often as as they are modified. Consequently the use of the links in this web site are in accordance with and governed by the W3C Trademark License and Logo. link and icon usage policies.

It is considered that the pages displayed within this web site meet the minimum Level Triple-A Conformance to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 and have passed all automated checks available.

To further promote accessibility on the Web, W3C has introduced the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Conformance Logos.

Content providers can use these logos on their sites to indicate a claim of conformance to a specified conformance level of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. It is expected that use of these logos on conformant sites will help raise awareness of accessibility issues.

Web sites bearing this logo indicate a claim of conformance by the page author or content provider up to conformance level Triple-A of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0, including all Priority 1, Priority 2 and Priority 3 checkpoints defined in the Guidelines.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. Conformance to these Guidelines will help make the Web more accessible to users with disabilities and will benefit all users.

Claims of conformance are not verified by W3C. Content providers are surely responsible for the use of these logos.

Conformance Level explanations:

•  Conformance Level 'A' - All Priority 1 checkpoints are satisfied.
•  Conformance Level 'AA' - All Priority 1 and 2 checkpoints are satisfied.
•  Conformance Level 'AAA' - All Priority 1, 2 and 3 checkpoints are satisfied.
