Non-accessible content

The following content is not accessible because it is not compatible with the underlying harmonized standard EN 301 549:

• There are images without captions on one page. It is difficult to navigate to the images with screen readers. | WCAG: 1.1.1
• There are links without link text on several pages. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• There is a list element on a page that is not part of a list. | WCAG: 1.3.1
• On several pages, the contrast between text and background is too low. | WCAG: 1.4.3
• On single pages there are 'iframe' elements without labelling. Navigation with screen readers to the iframes is difficult. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• On several pages, the language stored in HTML does not match the page language. | WCAG: 3.1.1
• There is a form field on a page without labelling. It is difficult to navigate to the form field with screen readers. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• On single pages there are headings that have no caption or contain the aria-hidden attribute and are therefore not accessible to screen readers. | WCAG: 1.3.1
• There are invalid aria attribute values on single pages. These are not recognized by screen readers and are therefore not output correctly. | WCAG: 4.1.2
• On a page, a parent element lacks matching child elements. This can confuse screen reader users, as content is expected but none is there. | WCAG: 1.3.1
• On single pages, links are indistinguishable from the surrounding text. | WCAG: 1.4.1
