The verification of compliance with the requirements is based on a self-assessment (the content was evaluated by an internal employee or the content developer) and was carried out on December 1, 2025.

Our website/app largely complies with accessibility requirements. Only a few elements make it difficult for people with disabilities to access information. The following content is not fully accessible: – Images and graphics do not consistently have clear alternative text, and alternative text is sometimes missing. – The labels for some form elements cannot be determined programmatically. – In some cases, the focus order is unclear, and the keyboard focus is not easily visible. – The accessible name does not always match the visible name of the controls. – Not all PDF documents are accessible. We are constantly working to improve our website/app. Unfortunately, due to the sheer volume of material, we have not yet been able to make all content and services digitally accessible.
