2. Conformance Status

This website is partially conformant with the requirements of EN 301 549.

3. Non-Accessible Content

Currently, significant parts of this website are not fully accessible. This includes, among others:

• Limitations in keyboard navigation, especially in navigation and menu areas
  Reason: complex menu structures and dynamic content hinder full keyboard operation
  Priority: high | Affected areas: main navigation, footer menu
• Incomplete or missing labels for individual controls and form fields
  Reason: older forms were created without ARIA labels
  Priority: medium | Affected areas: contact form, checkout
• Color combinations with insufficient contrast
  Reason: existing design partially does not meet WCAG 2.1 contrast requirements
  Priority: low | Affected areas: banners, background images
• Non-accessible PDF and downloadable documents
  Reason: PDFs are not yet tagged and do not contain alternative texts
  Priority: medium | Affected areas: product sheets, manuals
• Other aspects of technical and editorial accessibility that still need to be reviewed and improved
  Reason: ongoing editorial optimization is necessary
  Priority: low | Affected areas: blog articles, news section

Note on accessible alternatives: If a PDF or other document is currently not accessible, we will gladly provide the content in an accessible format upon request.

A comprehensive accessibility optimization has already been commissioned and will be implemented step by step. Ongoing measures are planned until the end of Q1 2026.
