Status of compatibility with the requirements
Based on the review, the websites are not or only partially compatible with the aforementioned requirements due to the following incompatibilities or exceptions.

  • Text alternatives
    Alternative texts for graphics and objects: Technically complete and also fundamentally fulfilled editorially, however alternative texts that are partially available often do not represent an equivalent to the image content or are occasionally missing completely. - In progress -
  • Accessible via keyboard
    Usable without mouse: Some control elements cannot currently be selected and/or activated correctly using the keyboard. - In progress -
  • Navigable
    Meaningful document titles: Document titles do not always adequately reflect the content of the pages or lead to display problems. - In progress -

The elimination of these deficiencies is currently being planned and is largely already in progress. As soon as there are improvements in terms of accessibility on our pages, these will be published here and we will endeavour to eliminate the remaining barriers as quickly as possible.

Evaluation method
The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on a "barrier-free audit" carried out by infomax websolution GmbH. In this audit, the ten most important WCAG criteria were assessed on the basis of the Easy Checks (https://bik-fuer-alle.de/easy-checks.html).
