Accessibility Declaration for RADAR

FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz Institute for Information Infrastructure makes every effort to make its web application RADAR www.radar-service.eu, accessible without barriers. The legal basis is the German Act on Equal Opportunities for the Disabled (BGG) and the Barrier-free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV 2.0) as amended from time to time.

Status of compliance with the requirements

The largest part of the RADAR web application is compliant with BITV 2.0 due to the points mentioned below. The BITV test was carried out as a self-assessment (92 test steps); most of the test steps have been fulfilled.

• Alternative texts for graphics and graphical control elements will be added one after the other.
• Keyboard operability is ensured
• The keyboard focus is clearly visible throughout
• Text can be enlarged, except for special features such as displayed menus.
• The page layout was structured more clearly.

We continue to work on further improvements, for example, to

• define headings and paragraphs consistently
• further improve the navigation structure
