Section 508 Compliance
What is Section 508?
The purpose of section 508 is an amendment of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, (29 U.S.C. 794d). Section 508 requires that when Federal
agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology, Federal employees with disabilities have access to
and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities,
unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency. Section 508 also requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of
the public seeking information or services from a Federal agency, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to
that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on the agency.
How does Section 508 apply to Kingston products and services?
All of Kingston's services, memory and flash products are Section 508 compliant.
When dealing with or selling to Federal Agencies, Kingston can sell with confidence in regards to Section 508. The performance requirements
of this section are intended for overall product evaluation and for technologies or components for which there is no specific requirement
under the technical standards in Subpart B. These criteria are designed to ensure that the individual accessible components work together to
create an accessible product. They cover operation, including input and control functions, operation of mechanical mechanisms, and access to
visual and audible information. These provisions are structured to allow people with sensory or physical disabilities to locate, identify, and
operate input, control and mechanical functions and to access the information provided, including text, static or dynamic images, icons, labels,
sounds or incidental operating cues.
The standards also address access to all information, documentation, and support provided to end users (e.g., Federal employees) of covered
technologies. This includes user guides, installation guides for end-user installable devices, and customer support and technical support
communications. Such information must be available in alternate formats upon request at no additional charge. Alternate formats or methods of
communication, can include Braille, cassette recordings, large print, electronic text, Internet postings, TTY access, and captioning and audio
description for video materials.
If you have any questions regarding our compliance with Section 508, please feel free to contact:
