Declaration of accessibility

Accessibility­ Statement

CoLT Prüf und Test GmbH is committed to making its website
www.colt-lab.com
accessible in accordance with the Austrian Web Accessibility Act (WZG).
This statement applies to the entire colt-lab.com domain.

Level of Con­formance with Accessibility Requirements

This website is only partially compliant with Level AA of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and the requirements of the WZG. The following known limitations currently exist:

• Alternative Text: Not all images and graphic elements have descriptive alt text.
• Contrast & Font Sizes: Improvements are needed regarding font sizes and color contrast.
• PDF Documents: Only certification PDFs are available, which have not been checked for accessibility.
• Contact Form: Form fields are present but are not formally optimized for accessibility (labels, error messages, focus).

Note:
No internal or external accessibility evaluation (e.g. WCAG, BITV, or WZG) has been conducted.
No tests with assistive technologies (screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification software) have been performed. No audit report exists.

Note on Externally Embedded Content & Services

The site does not use external social media feeds, YouTube, Google Maps, or other embedded services.
Only a native contact form and certification PDFs are used.
However, these elements may still contain accessibility barriers.
If you notice any issues, please inform us so that we can address improvements where possible.

Creation of This Statement

This statement was prepared on July 8, 2025 based on a self-assessment.
The website is technically updated at least quarterly (WordPress, plugins), but no content or design modifications regarding accessibility have been made.

Improve­ment Process and Future Measures

We are aware of the current barriers and are actively working to continuously improve the accessibility of our website. Planned measures include:

• Adding alternative text to images
• Improving font sizes and color contrasts
• Reviewing and optimizing the contact form
• Checking PDF documents for accessibility
• Regularly researching new accessibility standards
