Accessibility status
WACON Internet GmbH is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the BFSG Website Ordinance (BFSG-WebV).
This accessibility statement applies to the website www.wacon.de.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the requirements of the standard EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03), which is referenced by the BFSG.
Partial compliance results from the non-accessible content listed below.
Non-accessible content
Some content is currently not fully accessible:
- PDF documents published before May 28, 2025 are not consistently accessible.
- Some interface elements are not yet fully operable via keyboard
- Alternative text for images has been added retrospectively to some content; a full review is ongoing.
- Videos currently do not include subtitles or audio descriptions.
Reasons for exceptions in accordance with Section 3 BFSG-WebV
The full implementation of accessibility for all content currently represents a disproportionate burden within the meaning of Section 3 BFSG-WebV, in particular:
- Some older PDF documents or third-party content (e.g., embedded map services or videos) cannot currently be made fully accessible without disproportionate technical or organizational effort.
- For certain components (e.g., interactive maps, third-party widgets), no fully accessible alternative is currently available without significant functional limitations
We are continuously working to remove these barriers within our capabilities.
