Declaration of accessibility

Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH strives to make its website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the Regulation on the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSGV). This statement applies to https://www.hamburg-open.de/.

Description of the service

This website provides information about the HAMBURG OPEN trade fair.

How our website fulfills accessibility requirements

Status of compatibility with the requirements

Our products and services can be found, accessed and used by people with disabilities in the usual way, without particular difficulty and generally without outside help.

Our website largely complies with the BFSG and BFSGV. However, there are still some barriers on our pages that we are actively working on and intend to remove in the future. The following exceptions and incompatibilities exist:

The following content is not accessible because it is not compatible with the underlying harmonized standard EN 301 549:

On single pages there are images without captions. It is difficult to navigate to the images with screen readers.
There are links without link text on all pages.
On all pages, the contrast between text and background is too low.
On single pages there are 'iframe' elements without labelling. Navigation with screen readers to the iframes is difficult.
On single pages there are buttons without labelling. It is difficult to navigate to the buttons with screen readers.
On single pages there are headings that have no caption or contain the aria-hidden attribute and are therefore not accessible to screen readers.
On single pages there are focusable elements that are marked as decorative and are therefore accessible to assistive technologies, but should actually be ignored.
On single pages, a parent element lacks the appropriate child elements. This can confuse screen reader users because content is expected but none is there.
On single pages there are elements with the Aria-hidden attribute that can be focused at the same time. This makes these elements accessible to assistive technologies, even though they should be hidden.
There are interactive elements on a page whose name is not part of the labeling. This makes it difficult to control the website using voice control.
