Accessibility Statement

In short and in plain language

Everyone should be able to use this website. This includes people with disabilities.

The website meets most of the rules for accessibility. A few points are still missing. They are listed below.

One example: a screen reader does not read out some images in articles. A screen reader is a program that reads text aloud. Most of the time the text next to the image says the same. But for a few images, something may be missing.

Is something on the site a problem for you? Write to us or call us. We answer within 20 working days.

Are you not happy with our answer? Then you can turn to an authority. Its address is further down in the text.

This summary helps you understand. The full text below is what applies.

XICTRON is committed to making the website shop-wartung.de accessible in accordance with the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and Directive (EU) 2019/882 (European Accessibility Act). This statement applies to all content under shop-wartung.de in German and English.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA and the EN 301 549 standard. "Partially compliant" means that the requirements are predominantly met, while the individual points listed under "Known limitations" are still outstanding. Last review: 2. Oktober 2026.

Method of preparation

This statement is based on a self-assessment. It draws on an automated test of every page type using axe-core against the WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2 Level A and AA rule sets, a measurement of colour contrast taken from the actually rendered pixels rather than from the values in the stylesheet, a keyboard run with real key presses including measurement of focus visibility and obscuring, checks of content shown on pointer hover and focus, of motion and timing, of reflow at 320 pixels width and of increased text spacing, and manual checks of open dialogues, focus order and heading hierarchy. An automated test covers only part of the success criteria; no full external audit has taken place.

Known limitations

The following content is currently not accessible, or only accessible to a limited extent:

  • Diagrams and process graphics in specialist articles are marked as decorative and are skipped by screen readers, because the running text carries the same message. For individual graphics among the roughly 600 in total this correspondence may be incomplete, and information is then lost (WCAG 1.1.1). Reason: the graphics were created over a longer period. We are reviewing them article by article and extending the text where it falls short of the graphic. Planned remedy by 31 December 2026.
  • Embedded layout drafts under /demos/: these preview pages illustrate design variants and do not go through the same review process as the website itself. Reason: they are drafts, not production content. The regular pages of the website are available as an accessible alternative for the content shown.
  • External content: on pages linking to third-party offerings we have no influence over their accessibility.

Technical implementation

  • Semantic HTML5 with a consistent heading hierarchy and ARIA landmarks
  • Skip link to the main content as the first focusable element
  • Full keyboard operation, visible focus, focus trapping in dialogues
  • Colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for body text, verified against rendered pixels
  • Motion is switched off when the "reduce motion" system setting is active; decorative motion stops no later than five seconds after loading
  • Text sizes and layout scale up to 200 percent without loss of content
