Declaration of accessibility

Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH strives to make its website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the Regulation on the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSGV). This statement applies to https://www.cch.de/.

 

Status of compatibility with the requirements

Our products and services can be found, accessed and used by people with disabilities in the usual way, without particular difficulty and generally without outside help.

Our website largely complies with the BFSG and BFSGV. However, there are still some barriers on our pages that we are actively working on and intend to remove in the future. The following exceptions and incompatibilities exist:

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
