4. Content Not Fully Accessible
The following website content is not yet fully compliant with the accessibility requirements of Section 3 BITV 2.0 and Section 12a BGG:
a) Insufficient color contrast
Several text elements lack sufficient contrast between foreground and background, affecting readability for users with visual impairments.
b) Missing or incorrect ARIA attributes
Invalid or incomplete ARIA markup is used on some pages. Missing referenced IDs, unclear aria-expanded states, and interactive elements within aria-hidden areas reduce accessibility.
c) Incorrectly labeled form fields
Some form elements lack proper labels or are associated with multiple labels. Accessible names are missing in some select elements or buttons. Fieldset and legend elements are not consistently used for grouping.
d) Empty or unlabeled controls
Some buttons lack visible or machine-readable labels. Inappropriate tabindex usage further complicates navigation for keyboard or screen reader users.
e) Faulty HTML structure in lists and navigation
Lists are sometimes incorrectly nested or contain invalid elements. Navigation sections are duplicated or insufficiently marked up, making orientation difficult for assistive technology users.
f) Unclear heading structure
Missing main headings (h1), empty headings, skipped heading levels, and excessive use of low-level headings make the content structure unclear and difficult to follow.
g) Redundant or broken links
Some links have identical text but lead to different destinations, or reference non-existent anchors.
h) Missing alternative texts
Some images lack meaningful or any alternative texts, making content inaccessible for users with visual impairments.
i) Redundant title attributes
Many HTML elements contain identical title attributes, offering no additional information and potentially disturbing screen reader users.
j) Display issues during zoom
Zooming in (e.g., via browser) can cause layout overlaps, content misalignment, or clipping.
k) Nested interactive elements
In rare cases, interactive components are improperly nested, creating usability issues.
l) Visual text formatting
Block-justified text and underlined text without hyperlink function may hinder readability and cause confusion.
m) Small or tightly spaced controls
Buttons or links may be too small or too close together, especially on touch devices.
n) Non-accessible media content
Some embedded PDF files do not meet accessibility standards (e.g., missing alternative text).
o) Missing autocomplete attributes
Input fields in registration and checkout processes do not support autocomplete, limiting ease of use for some users.
5. Reason for Non-Compliance
Some of the above issues result from legacy technical structures. These are being addressed as part of an ongoing website redesign and development roadmap.
6. Evaluation Method
The accessibility of these websites was reviewed in June 2025 via automated self-assessment tools, including:
- axe DevTools
- WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool
- Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools)
These tools were applied to representative subpages and assessed based on compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, aligned with BITV 2.0.
7. Ongoing Measures to Improve Accessibility
We strive to continuously improve accessibility on our websites. Our voluntary actions beyond legal minimum requirements include:
- Regular testing using automated tools and upcoming manual testing by users with disabilities
- Staff training to consider accessibility during design and content creation
- Revisions to color schemes and contrast to enhance readability for users with visual impairments
- Expanded support for keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility in interactive components
- A feedback system allowing users to report accessibility issues directly
Our goal is to provide all users—regardless of ability or assistive technology used—with equal access to all information and functionality on our websites.
