Declaration on Accessibility

The Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology (BMK) endeavours to make their websites accessible in a barrier-free manner in accordance with the legal requirements.

This declaration on accessibility applies to the website https://www.railindustry.at/.

The legal basis for this declaration is the Web Accessibility Act (WZG) as amended to implement Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 October 2016 on barrier-free access to the websites and mobile applications of public authorities (Official Journal L 327, 2.12.2016, p. 1).

Status of compatibility with the requirements

This website is partially compliant with the guidlines for accessible web content.
The underlying criteria are based on Conformance Level AA of the "Web Content Accessibility Guidelines Web - WCAG 2.1" and the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (2018-08).

Non-accessible contents

The contents listed below are not accessible on https://www.railindustry.at/organisations-map for the following reasons:

  • Non-text Content
    Some form control elements have no associated labels.
    Why is this important?
    Associating a meaningful label with every UI control allows the browser and assistive technology to expose and announce the control to a user. Associating a visible label also provides a larger clickable area.
     
  • Name, Role, Value
    Some form control elements have no associated labels.
    Why is this important?
    Associating a meaningful label with every UI control allows the browser and assistive technology to expose and announce the control to a user. Associating a visible label also provides a larger clickable area.

The contents identified will be corrected soon.
