Mitel meets WCAG 2.1. and AA standards for text, images, and sounds code or markup that defines structure, presentation, etc. for web pages or applications.

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act

The Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), is a law that sets out a process for developing and enforcing accessibility standards in Ontario, Canada. Persons with disabilities and industry representatives work together with the government to develop the standards. Mitel commits to AODA and updates the certificate every year. The report and confirmation number are available upon request.
