Known accessibility issues
Despite our efforts, some users may encounter issues. Below is a description of known accessibility problems. Please contact us if you observe a problem that is not listed.
Images:
Some images on the website do not have alternative text (alt text). This violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.1.1 'Non-text Content', which requires alternatives to be provided for non-text content such as images. This issue is being addressed.
Videos:
Some videos on the website do not include captions or audio descriptions. This violates WCAG 2.1 Success Criteria 1.2.2 'Captions (live)' and 1.2.5 'Audio Description (recorded)', which require captions for deaf users and audio descriptions for blind or visually impaired users. Due to disproportionate effort, this is currently not being rectified.
External Services/Widgets:
Some embedded widgets from external services, such as TikTok, are not accessible. This may violate various WCAG 2.1 Success Criteria. Since these contents are provided by the respective vendors, we have no control over their accessibility.
PDF Documents:
Older PDF documents on the website are not accessible and do not meet the requirements of WCAG 2.1. PDF documents published before September 23, 2018, are exempt from accessibility obligations under legal provisions. More recent PDF documents are partially not accessible and are being continuously updated to comply with WCAG 2.1 and PDF/UA standards.
