Accessibility Statement

Last updated: July 2026

machref.com is committed to making this machinist reference usable by as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities. We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA and to applicable requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Accessibility Features

• Skip link: A "Skip to main content" link is available at the top of each page for keyboard and screen-reader users.
• Keyboard navigation: All interactive elements (search, menus, calculators, buttons) are operable with the keyboard.
• Visible focus: Focused links, buttons, and form fields display a clear focus outline.
• Semantic structure: Pages use proper landmarks (header, nav, main, footer), heading hierarchy, and list structures.
• Tables: Reference tables include header cells so screen readers can associate data with column or row headings.
• Forms and calculators: Inputs have associated labels and calculation results are announced via live regions.
• Dark mode: A high-contrast dark theme is available and remembered between visits.
• Reduced motion: Animations and transitions are reduced when your system requests reduced motion.
• Responsive design: Content reflows for phones, tablets, and desktops without horizontal scrolling at standard zoom.

Known Limitations

• Some third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense may be controlled by Google and may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We work with our advertising partners to encourage accessible ad creative.
• Older or less common assistive technologies may render some styled tables in a less optimal reading order, though table headers are provided.
