Description of the service

Descriptions and explanations necessary to understand the execution of the service

Non-accessible content

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

• On single pages there are images without captions. It is difficult to navigate to the images with screen readers. | WCAG: 1.1.1
• There are links without link text on single pages. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• On all pages, the contrast between text and background is too low. | WCAG: 1.4.3
• There are form fields without a label on single pages. It is difficult to navigate to the form fields with screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• On single pages there are headings that have no caption or contain the aria-hidden attribute and are therefore not accessible to screen readers. | WCAG: 1.3.1
• On single pages, the '!important' attribute in a 'style' element prevents the line spacing from being adjusted. As a result, it is not possible to adjust the spacing between lines. | WCAG: 1.4.12
• On all 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 single pages, subordinate elements are missing the matching parent element. This can lead to screen readers not displaying the subordinate elements correctly. | WCAG: 1.3.1
• On several pages, links are indistinguishable from the surrounding text. | WCAG: 1.4.1
• There are interactive elements on single pages whose names are not part of the caption. This makes it difficult to control the website using voice control. | WCAG: 2.5.3
