Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FITThe Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Information Technology FIT endeavors to make its website accessible in accordance with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
The following declaration on accessibility documents the implementation status for the domain on which you are currently located in accordance with the Ordinance on the Creation of Barrier-free Information Technology under the North Rhine-Westphalia Disability Equality Act.
The website is continuously checked on a random basis. Conformity can only be determined for individual pages. In order to make a statement on the conformity of the entire website, all individual web pages belonging to the website would have to be checked. This is not practicable for large websites. However, testing a representative selection of pages, i.e. a selection of pages that covers as many potential barriers as possible, allows conclusions to be drawn about the accessibility of the website as a whole.
Status of compliance with the requirements
This website is partially compatible with the ordinance on the creation of barrier-free information technology in accordance with the North Rhine-Westphalia Equal Opportunities for Disabled Persons Act.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is not barrier-free:
- Despite all care, words and sections of text may be used in a different language and not marked up accordingly or the structure may not be sequential.
- Furthermore, accessibility cannot be guaranteed for embedded content, such as YouTube videos or content from other sources such as external databases.
- In addition, accessibility cannot be guaranteed for internally linked PDF documents that have been uploaded via the content management system.
- Keyboard operation is not completely guaranteed at the moment.
- Contrasts in some places do not comply with the regulations.
We are currently working on removing the barriers as quickly as possible.
