Non-accessible content

The following content is not accessible because it is not compatible with the underlying harmonized standard EN 301 549:

  • There are links without link text on all pages. | WCAG: 4.1.2
  • There are list elements on all pages that are not part of a list. | WCAG: 1.3.1
  • On all pages, the contrast between text and background is too low. | WCAG: 1.4.3
  • There is an 'iframe' element without a caption on a page. It is difficult to navigate to the iframe with screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
  • On single pages, the language stored in HTML does not match the page language. | WCAG: 3.1.1
  • There is a form field on a page without labelling. It is difficult to navigate to the form field with screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
  • On all pages, the meta viewport prevents zooming. Deactivating the zoom makes page content more difficult to read for people with visual impairments. | WCAG: 1.4.4
  • On single pages, a parent element lacks the appropriate child elements. This can confuse screen reader users because content is expected but none is there. | WCAG: 1.3.1
  • On almost all pages there are scrollable elements that cannot be scrolled with the keyboard. This makes it difficult for users of assistive technologies to grasp the whole page. | WCAG: 2.1.1
  • On a page there are ARIA buttons, links or menu items without labeling. Navigation with screen readers to these elements is difficult. | WCAG: 4.1.2
  • On all pages there are elements whose Aria ID occurs several times. This makes it difficult to navigate the website with screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
  • There are lists on all pages that contain elements that do not belong in lists. As a result, the lists may not be output correctly by assistive technologies. | WCAG: 1.3.1
