Accessibility Statement

The project EasyGSH-DB strives to make their websites accessible to all.

Current compatibility with requirements

As of December 31, 2019 and the end of the project, the website was tested with AChecker's Web Accessibility Checker against WCAG 2.0 (Level AAA), BITV 1.0 (Level 2) and HTML validation guidelines. A representative number of pages was selected for testing the websites. All pages selected for testing were rated as compliant.

A barrier-free implementation was not possible within the project time for the following listed contents:

  • The contact form does not have a matching autocomplete attribute.
  • The third-party graphics-based web applications in the interactive viewer section.

Feedback and contact

Have you noticed any shortcomings in barrier-free access? Or do you have questions on the subject of accessibility? Then you are welcome to contact us. Please use the contact form.
