Image alt text and accessibility

We only use alt text where an image conveys essential information for the meaning of the webpage; for example a diagram showing statistical figures. Where an image is purely decorative, we don't use alt text as this is superfluous information and extra “noise” that distracts from essential information on a page when a screen reader is being used.

However,  it may be difficult to commit to testing every browser version with every version of assistive technology, nor to testing on every operating system version or mobile handset type.
