Accessibility Statement

Leoben Municipality takes great care to ensure the accessibility of its website in accordance with the Styrian Act on Web Access as amended (Steiermärkisches Web-Zugangs-Gesetz, StWZG) to implement Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and the Council of 26 October 2016 on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (Official Journal L 327, 2/12/2016, p. 1–15).
This Statement of Accessibility applies to the website www.leoben.at and its subdomains digitales.leoben.at, kulturquartier.leoben.at and musikschule.leoben.at.

Non-accessible content

The content below is not accessible for the reasons stated:

a) Non-conformity with accessibility provisions

There are some cases where the contrast ratio of the bus schedule widget on the Public Buses & Bus on Demand site is too low. This means that WCAG success criterion 1.4.3 (contrast) is only partially met. We are working on solving this problem.

There are no <h1> HTML tags on the start pages of leoben.at and musikschule.leoben.at; they consist of several uniform <h2> HTML tags.

b) Disproportionate effort

Our videos are hosted and published on the YouTube video platform. It is not possible to provide the required audio descriptions for all of these videos, i.e. WCAG success criterion 1.2.5 (audio description recorded) is not met for them. We are of the opinion that solving this problem would mean a disproportionate effort in terms of accessibility provisions.

We strive to provide alternatives for time-based media in text format.

c) The contents are not within the scope of the applicable legislation

Many, predominately older, PDF files are not accessible. Some PDF files are, for example, not tagged, which means that users of screen readers cannot read and use them or can only do so to an insufficient degree. This means that WCAG success criterion 4.1.2 (e.g. name, role, value) is only partially met.
There are currently no major plans in place to change older, non-accessible documents that are not subject to Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

Please let us know if you have problems with specific documents. We will make the content accessible upon request. As far as new documents are concerned, we strive to prepare them to conform with the accessibility requirements of WCAG 2.1 and PDF/UA prior to publication.

Directive (EU) 2016/2102 does not apply to links to third-party content which is beyond the scope of influence of Leoben Municipality. No statement can be made for this third-party content regarding conformity with accessibility regulations.
