The content listed below is not accessible:

  • PDF documents embedded in the website
  • Videos integrated into the website
  • The color tones currently used do not all achieve the required contrast with a browser zoom factor of 100 percent.

Reasons:

  • Due to the large number of PDF documents provided that were created before 23.09.2018, it has not yet been possible to convert them into an accessible format. They will be successively adapted.
  • It has not yet been possible to provide the videos with an audio description.

Accessible alternatives:
