Operational efficiency

Multilingual accessibility
Ensure that accessibility features, including alt text to navigation cues, are culturally and linguistically accurate across every required language, not just English.
The European Accessibility Act and what it means for your documents
The European Accessibility Act came into force in June 2025, requiring all consumer-facing digital documents, including PDFs, brochures, downloadable materials, and similar content, to be accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance is measured against two internationally recognised standards: <strong>WCAG 2.1 AA</strong> and the <strong>PDF/UA ISO standard</strong>. Businesses that fail to act face legal penalties and reputational risk.
Alpha CRC's accessibility services
Alpha CRC provides services across four main areas to help businesses improve their accessibility status.
- PDF remediation — Our specialists apply precise semantic tagging and structural corrections, establish logical reading order, craft meaningful alt text for every non-text element, and optimise colour contrast with redundant visual cues throughout.
- Multilingual accessibility — Native-speaking teams remediate documents across all required languages and conduct hands-on QA to ensure real-world usability in every market.
- Ongoing support — Accessibility is not a one-time fix. As regulations evolve, languages expand, and user needs shift, Alpha CRC remains your long-term accessibility partner, providing continuous improvement at every stage.

Frequently asked questions
What is PDF remediation and why does my business need it?
PDF remediation restructures and tags documents so assistive technologies can read them accurately. Under the EAA, this became a legal requirement for consumer-facing documents in 2025.
Can Alpha CRC handle documents in multiple languages?
Yes. Our native-speaking teams remediate and QA documents across a wide range of languages, ensuring accessibility features are culturally and linguistically appropriate in every market.
How do you test for real-world accessibility?
We go beyond automated tools, making hands-on testing with native linguists available.
Where do we start with a large document inventory?
We begin with a comprehensive audit, identifying your highest-priority documents by usage, consumer impact, and legal significance, and from then on build a phased remediation plan around your deadlines and available resources.
