Accessibility Statement

Status of compliance with requirements
This website does not comply with Section 10(1) of the L-BGG. The instances of non-compliance (and/or exceptions) are listed below.
Non-accessible content
The following content is not accessible, as it does not comply with the underlying harmonised standard EN 301 549:
- One page contains SVG images without captions. This makes it difficult to navigate to the SVG images using screen readers. | WCAG: 1.1.1
- All pages contain images without captions. This makes it difficult to navigate to the images using screen readers. | WCAG: 1.1.1
- All pages contain links without link text. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On all pages, the contrast between text and background is too low. | WCAG: 1.4.3
- On some pages, there are “iframe” elements without labels. This makes it difficult to navigate to the iframes using screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On all pages, the contrast between text and background is too low. | WCAG: 1.4.3
- On some pages, there are “iframe” elements without labels. This makes it difficult to navigate to the iframes using screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On some pages, there are form fields without labels. This makes it difficult to navigate to the form fields using screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On several pages, there are buttons without labels. This makes it difficult to navigate to the buttons using screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- Several pages contain headings that have no text or include the `aria-hidden` attribute, and are therefore inaccessible to screen readers. | WCAG: 1.3.1
- On several pages, the `meta viewport` tag prevents zooming. Disabling zooming makes it difficult for people with visual impairments to read page content. | WCAG: 1.4.4
- Several pages contain invalid Aria attribute values. These are not detected by screen readers and are therefore not rendered correctly. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On some pages, a parent element is missing the appropriate child elements. This can confuse screen reader users, as content is expected but none is present. | WCAG: 1.3.1
- Many pages contain elements with the `aria-hidden` attribute that can still be focused. This means these elements are accessible to assistive technologies, even though they should be hidden. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On some pages, links cannot be distinguished from the surrounding text. | WCAG: 1.4.1
- On almost all pages, there are interactive elements whose labels are not part of the text content. This makes it difficult to navigate the website using voice control. | WCAG: 2.5.3
- On some pages, list elements are incorrectly structured. As a result, list descriptions and list headings are not displayed correctly and are not rendered correctly by assistive technologies. | WCAG: 1.3.1
- On some pages, there are elements whose ARIA ID appears multiple times. This makes it difficult to navigate the website using screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
- On some pages, there are lists containing elements that do not belong in lists. As a result, the lists may not be rendered correctly by assistive technologies. | WCAG: 1.3.1

- C.9.1.3.2 - In some cases where the order in which content is presented affects its meaning, this is conveyed only visually and not structurally;

- C.9.2.4.3 - On some web pages that can be navigated sequentially, where the order of navigation affects meaning and functionality, some objects that can receive focus do not receive it in an order that preserves their meaning and functionality;
- C.9.2.4.6 - Headers and/or labels do not sufficiently clarify the content or functionality;
- C.9.3.3.2 - In some cases, no labels or instructions are provided when the content requires user input;
- C.9.4.1.2 - In some cases, the components of the user interface (including: form elements, links and script-generated components...), , the name, role, status, attributes and values are incorrect or not set, or the user and their assistive technologies are not notified when these change;
