Introduction

As a com­pa­ny within the mea­ning of the Ger­man Acces­si­bi­li­ty Streng­thening Act (Bar­rie­re­frei­heits­stär­kungs­ge­setz, BFSG), we are requi­red to make our web­site acces­si­ble. We are imple­men­ting the legal requi­re­ments step by step and stri­ve to pro­vi­de all users with the most unrest­ric­ted access pos­si­ble to our digi­tal ser­vices. This state­ment appli­es to the website

support.kopp.eu
produkte.kopp.eu

Status of compliance with the requirements

Our web­site is curr­ent­ly par­ti­al­ly com­pli­ant with the requi­re­ments of the BFSG. Con­tent and fea­tures are being con­ti­nuous­ly review­ed and expan­ded. A new assess­ment – eit­her through self-eva­lua­ti­on or by exter­nal par­ties – is plan­ned for the end of next year. Neces­sa­ry adjus­t­ments to the web­site are being made as part of ongo­ing development.

Non-accessible content

The fol­lo­wing con­tent is curr­ent­ly not ful­ly accessible:

  • PDF docu­ments: Some docu­ments are (still) not acces­si­ble. We are working on acces­si­ble alternatives.
  • Forms: Some forms are curr­ent­ly not acces­si­ble. The­se are being gra­du­al­ly con­ver­ted into acces­si­ble for­mats. If you requi­re a form or other docu­ment that is not yet acces­si­ble, plea­se cont­act us.
  • Vide­os: Some embedded vide­os curr­ent­ly lack sub­tit­les. We aim to pro­vi­de sub­tit­les for all vide­os in the future. 
    • Sub­tit­les can­not be added to Vimeo vide­os (EN 301 549 V3.1.1 Sec­tion 7.1.1 „Cap­tio­ning playback“).
    • Embedded vide­os with acti­va­ted sub­tit­les (You­Tube) lack syn­chro­ni­zed cap­tio­ning (EN 301 549 V3.1.1 Sec­tion 7.1.2 „Cap­tio­ning synchronization“).
    • Vide­os con­tai­ning rele­vant visu­al infor­ma­ti­on do not have audio descrip­ti­ons or full-text alter­na­ti­ves. (WCAG Suc­cess Cri­ter­ion 1.2.3). Vimeo vide­os can­not be pro­vi­ded with sub­tit­les (EN 301 549 V3.1.1, Sec­tion 7.1.1).
  • Images wit­hout alter­na­ti­ve text: Some images on the web­site lack alter­na­ti­ve text. We are con­ti­nuous­ly revie­w­ing and updating this con­tent. (WCAG Suc­cess Cri­ter­ion 1.1.1).
  • Sub­hea­dings are occa­sio­nal­ly not mark­ed as hea­dings (WCAG Suc­cess Cri­ter­ion 1.3.1).
  • The­re are iso­la­ted emp­ty para­graph ele­ments in the HTML (WCAG Suc­cess Cri­ter­ion 1.3.1).
  • Some text gra­phics are used wit­hout alter­na­ti­ve text (WCAG Suc­cess Cri­ter­ion 1.4.5).
  • Some but­tons are not pro­per­ly labe­led, e.g., miss­ing ARIA labels, which can make their func­tions unclear for screen rea­der users.
  • The­re are occa­sio­nal con­trast issues bet­ween text and back­ground, espe­ci­al­ly for ele­ments like links or hea­dings, which affect readability.
  • For­eign-lan­guage words and sec­tions are some­ti­mes not mark­ed appro­pria­te­ly. Eng­lish and French terms are occa­sio­nal­ly miss­ing the “lang” attribute.
  • Error indi­ca­ti­on: Form errors are not cor­rect­ly displayed.

Supportive measures

1. Per­so­nal cont­act We offer sup­port in using our web­site via e‑mail: E‑mail: compliance@kopp.eu

2. OneTap wid­get (optio­nal)
Our web­site uses the OneTap acces­si­bi­li­ty tool. This includes the fol­lo­wing features:

  • Adjus­ta­ble font type, size, and line spacing
  • Dys­le­xia-fri­end­ly font
  • Color con­trast modes (light, dark, inver­ted, monochrome)
  • Graysca­le mode
  • Enlar­ged mou­se pointer
  • High­light­ing of links and headings
  • Cus­to­mizable mou­se color and vir­tu­al keyboard
  • Text-to-speech func­tion
  • Disable ani­ma­ti­ons
  • Mute web­site sounds

The wid­get can be ope­ra­ted using both mou­se and key­board. More infor­ma­ti­on: www.wponetap.com Note: The­se func­tions are inten­ded as sup­ple­men­ta­ry assis­tance and do not replace a ful­ly acces­si­ble web­site design. Our efforts to ensu­re fun­da­men­tal acces­si­bi­li­ty remain unaffected.

Barriers due to disproportionate burden

Some bar­riers curr­ent­ly can­not be remo­ved due to eco­no­mic reasons:

  • Com­plex inter­ac­ti­ve con­tent: Achie­ving full acces­si­bi­li­ty would invol­ve a dis­pro­por­tio­na­te amount of effort.
  • His­to­ric con­tent: Older con­tent crea­ted befo­re the intro­duc­tion of cur­rent stan­dards may not be acces­si­ble. New con­tent is crea­ted accor­ding to cur­rent standards.

We con­ti­nu­al­ly eva­lua­te pos­si­bi­li­ties for impro­ve­ment but can­not eli­mi­na­te all bar­riers imme­dia­te­ly due to high costs.
