Accessibility

Bundesbeschaffung GmbH endeavours to make its websites accessible without barriers in accordance with the Web Accessibility Act (BGBl.I No. 59/2019).

This accessibility statement applies to the websitewww.ioeb-innovationsplattform.at

Status of compatibility with the requirements

This website is partially compliant with compliance level AA of the "Web Accessibility Guidelines - WCAG 2.1" or with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08) due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not accessible:

a) PDF

Many, mainly older PDF documents and Office documents are not accessible. For example, PDF documents are not tagged, so that they cannot or can only insufficiently be grasped and used by screen reader users. This means that WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 (name, role, value) is not met. If you need a PDF urgently, please let us know.

b) Images

Our images should all have alternative text so that this information is accessible to screen reader users. If you notice a picture without an alternative text, please let us know immediately.

c) The contents do not fall within the scope of the applicable legislation:

Third party content, for example presentation materials from companies that are not within the BBG's sphere of influence, are exempt from Directive (EU) 2016/2102. No statement can be made for this third-party content with regard to compatibility with accessibility regulations.
