Declaration on accessibility

We endeavour to make our website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Act as amended to implement the European Accessibility Directive (EU) RL 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services. This accessibility statement applies to www.apart-drschalber.at

Note: This accessibility statement relates exclusively to our website. It makes no statement about the structural accessibility of our premises.

Status of compatibility with the requirements

This website is partially compatible with conformity level AA of the ‘Guidelines for accessible web content - WCAG 2.2’ or with the applicable European standard EN 301 549 due to the following incompatibilities and/or exceptions.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not yet accessible for the following reasons:

a)    Incompatibility with accessibility regulations

1.1.1 - This success criterion is currently not fully met, as the website contains a large number of images that still lack alternative descriptions. We are constantly working on adding these captions.
1.3.1 - Some visually highlighted text areas are not programmatically labelled as headings. The heading structure is being optimised step by step.
1.3.3 - Individual links or buttons are only differentiated by colour, which means that the success criterion is not met.
1.3.5 - Some form fields - especially in the contact form - do not contain ‘autocomplete’ attributes and therefore do not fulfil the criterion.
1.4.1 - Links, for example in continuous text or the navigation, are sometimes only highlighted in colour. This does not fulfil the success criterion.
1.4.13 - Some navigation content only appears on hover, but is not accessible via the keyboard.
2.1.1 - The main navigation blocks the focus when using the keyboard. Other elements such as buttons or accordions cannot always be operated using the keyboard.
2.2.2 - Some elements do not have controls for pausing or exiting. (sliders, carousels, automatically refreshing elements, etc.)
2.4.1 - Skip links to skip recurring content are not available.
2.4.3 - The order of the keyboard navigation is partly illogical or gets lost when closing elements.
2.4.4 - Some links and buttons are not sufficiently described and therefore not clearly identifiable for screen readers.
2.4.7 - The focus display for keyboard navigation is not consistently visible.
2.4.11 - The focus disappears when menus or control elements such as accordions are not open.
2.5.3 - Partially missing visible labelling of control elements, which is reflected in the accessible name.
3.3.1 - Incorrect entries are not clearly recognised or described as such.
3.3.2 - Form elements are not consistently labelled or explained.
3.3.3 - Specific instructions for correcting errors are not provided.
3.3.4 - Important data entries cannot be checked or cancelled before sending.
4.1.2 - Not all buttons or interactive elements convey their state (e.g. expanded or selected) correctly programmatically.4.1.3 - Changes such as progress indicators or errors are not automatically transmitted to assistive technologies.

b)    Unreasonable burden

We are of the opinion that the correction would represent a disproportionate burden in terms of accessibility regulations. 

c)    The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legislation

Older documents and content that are not accessible are available on the website. As these were published before 28 June 2025, they are exempt from the Accessibility Act and no comprehensive change is currently planned for them.

The website contains documents and content from third-party providers that are neither developed, financed nor controlled by us. No statement can be made regarding the compatibility of this third-party content with the accessibility provisions and it is therefore also exempt from the requirements of the Accessibility Act.

Preparation of the accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 24/06/25.
The assessment of the website's compliance with the Accessibility Act was carried out in the form of a self-test in accordance with the guidelines of level AA of WCAG 2.2.
