Declaration on accessibility for www.gutmann-wire.com
GUTMANN ALUMINIUM DRAHT GMBH is committed to making its online services accessible and usable for all users. With the Barrier-Free Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG) coming into force on June 28, 2025, we are committed to meeting the requirements of digital accessibility.
1. Scope of application
This accessibility statement applies to the aforementioned website. Since our website integrates digital services in the area of electronic commerce, it is subject to the provisions of the BFSG.
2. Accessibility Status
This website is partially compliant with the national legal regulations implementing Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Barrier-Free Accessibility Enhancement Act – BFSG). Full compliance with the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at conformance level AA is being pursued.
3. Non-accessible Content
We are continuously working to improve the compatibility of our website with the requirements for digital accessibility. User feedback is an important tool in achieving this goal. The evaluation of compliance is based on a self-assessment. According to this assessment, the website is not fully compliant with the aforementioned requirements. We are actively working on removing further barriers. The following content is currently not or only partially accessible:
* Some content may not be fully perceivable by users who are blind or have low vision, for example, due to missing or insufficient alternative texts for images.
* Users with color blindness may have difficulty perceiving certain content due to insufficient color contrast.
* Texts may not always be clearly perceivable, and the complexity of images and videos that visualize textual information may represent a barrier.
* Some elements are not accessible or operable via keyboard, and clear visual focus indicators showing which element is active may be missing, making navigation difficult for users who cannot use a mouse.
* Improvements are still needed for screen reader compatibility and for assistive technologies overall, as the semantic structure is not always optimal or the HTML `lang` attribute is missing.
* Some headings and texts may not be clearly understandable to all users, and not all content is available in plain language as an alternative.
* Embedded third-party content (e.g., social media integrations or external plugins) may not be fully accessible, which is partly beyond our control.
Please note that we are continuously striving to improve accessibility. Given the volume of pages and the possibility of human error, occasional issues may occur. We apologize for any inconvenience and encourage you to report them to us.
4. Creation of this Statement
This statement was created on June 23, 2025. The assessment of the website’s accessibility status was carried out through a self-evaluation based on the information provided and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA.
5. Feedback and Contact
If you notice any accessibility issues on our website or require content that is not accessible, feel free to contact us. We strive to process your inquiries as quickly as possible and to continuously improve the accessibility of our services.
