Digital Check DE First call

Accessibility statement

We want everyone to be able to use this website easily, whether with a keyboard, a screen reader, magnification or on a smartphone. Our benchmark is WCAG 2.2 at level AA, which the European standard EN 301 549 also refers to. Last updated: October 2026.

Adjust the display yourself

The figure icon at the top right (in the menu on mobile) opens the “Accessibility & display” menu. There you can:

  • make the text larger (Large or Extra large),
  • choose a light or dark design,
  • switch on high contrast,
  • underline all links,
  • increase line, word and letter spacing,
  • switch off all animations.

The settings are only stored in your browser and apply to all pages. The whole website is also available in German (“DE” switch at the top right), and the search (magnifying glass) helps you find any content quickly.

What we do for accessibility

  • The entire website can be operated with a keyboard. A “Skip to content” link leads straight to the main content, and the current focus is always clearly marked and never hidden by the header or notices.
  • Pages have a clear heading structure, areas are labelled for screen readers, and controls such as menus, tabs, switches, dialogs and forms announce their state.
  • Text and controls have sufficient contrast, in both the light and dark design. Input field borders are clearly visible.
  • The content adapts to any screen width and remains readable at 200% and 400% zoom, without horizontal scrolling.
  • Moving elements can be paused. If you have set “Reduce motion” on your device, no animations run.
  • Form fields are labelled, required fields are marked, and errors are shown in plain language and read out.
  • We also explain example calculations in simple words.

How we test

We automatically test all pages in both languages against the requirements of WCAG 2.2 A and AA, in the light and dark design and at different screen sizes: contrast, labels, headings, target sizes and focus. We also check keyboard operation by hand.

Known limitations

  • In the Digital Check result, ring and bar graphics show the score. The values are always shown as text next to them as well.
  • Links to other websites, for example to social networks or to Google, lead to services whose accessibility we cannot influence.
