We continuously improve usability for everyone and apply the relevant accessibility standards (WCAG 2.2, BITV, and EN 301 549). This digital accessibility statement applies to the website of C.

Extent to which the website conforms to the accessibility requirements

 

The website is currently not fully compliant with the technical requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and the German Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0).

 

Non-accessible content

 

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

  • Some pages contain images without captions. Navigating to these images with screen readers is difficult. | WCAG: 1.1.1

  • All pages contain links without link text. | WCAG: 4.1.2

  • Several pages have list items 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

  • Some pages contain 'iframe' elements without labels. Navigating to these iframes with screen readers is difficult. | WCAG: 4.1.2

  • All pages contain form fields without labels. Navigating to these fields with screen readers is difficult. | WCAG: 4.1.2

  • Several pages contain headings that have no labels or include the attribute aria-hidden, making them inaccessible to screen readers. | WCAG: 1.3.1

  • Some pages contain tables that are incorrectly structured. Not all table headers are associated with data cells, making it unclear which content belongs to which header. | WCAG: 1.3.1

  • All pages have incorrect values for the autocomplete attributes, which may prevent browsers from recognizing them. | WCAG: 1.3.5

  • Some pages contain tables where not all data cells are associated with headers. It is not always clear which content belongs to which header. | WCAG: 1.3.1

  • Some pages contain focusable elements that are marked as decorative. These should be ignored by assistive technologies but are still reachable. | 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 not present. | WCAG: 1.3.1

  • On some pages, links are not visually distinguishable from surrounding text. | WCAG: 1.4.1

  • All pages contain interactive elements whose visible label is not part of the accessible name, making voice control more difficult. | WCAG: 2.5.3

  • Some pages contain elements with non-unique ARIA IDs, which hampers screen reader navigation. | WCAG: 4.1.2
