2.Legal Accessibility Requirements and How we Comply:
2.1 Legal Accessibility Requirements
The legal basis is the EU Directive (EU) 2019/882 on accessibility(Opens in new window), which requires Member States to introduce regulations that improve accessibility to products and services for persons with disabilities.
Websites and mobile applications that allow users to order and pay for products online must meet legal accessibility standards to ensure usability for all, including people with disabilities.
This requires a design that supports independent access and interaction, also when using assistive technologies. The key principles are:
- Content must be presented in ways all users can access
- Navigation and actions must work regardless of physical or cognitive limitations
- Layout and language must be clear and consistent
- The website/application must work reliably across devices and assistive technologies
These principles are reflected in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) which are used by web designers to make digital content accessible.
2.2 How we Comply
Our Website and App currently meet applicable legal accessibility requirements for onlineshops and mobile applications by partially complying with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. This means that some areas and functions of this Website and App do not yet fully meet accessibility requirements. We are actively working to make these areas and functions accessible in the near future.
As part of our ongoing accessibility efforts, we currently meet the following criteria:
- Color contrasts have been optimized to enhance readability.
- Images (excluding decorative elements) include alternative text.
- Content can be enlarged without loss of functionality.
- Keyboard navigation: All areas of the online shop and the app are accessible and fully operable via keyboard.
- Buttons and clickable areas are sufficiently large and provide adequate spacing from other elements.
- The Website follows a logical structure and is easy to navigate.
- Headings and form elements are clearly labeled. The checkout process supports autofill functions, and users can correct input errors.
- The Website supports the use of screen readers.
We assessed the accessibility of our Website and our App by the following means:
- Third party audit
- Automated tools and manual testing
- For the Website, testing by users with disabilities to ensure real-world accessibility
Our Website and App are designed to be compatible with the most used assistive technologies, such as NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack in combination with up to date web browsers. Please note that not using the latest version of either assistive technologies or browser may cause issues with accessibility. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
