Accessibility Statement

1. Declaration on Accessibility

Dr. Spiller GmbH is committed to making its websites and digital services accessible. This commitment is based on the German Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz – BFSG), which transposes the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) into national law. Our goal is to comply with the requirements of the harmonized European standard, ensuring equal access for all users—regardless of their individual abilities or assistive technologies.

This statement applies to https://dr-spiller.com and https://trawenmoor.com.

2. Status of Compatibility with the Accessibility Requirements

The aforementioned websites are currently not fully accessible. Various contents and functions do not yet fully meet the requirements for accessible design. We are continuously working to remove existing barriers as part of technical and editorial development processes.

3. Feedback and Contact

4. Content Not Fully Accessible

a) Insufficient color contrast

Several text elements lack sufficient contrast between foreground and background, affecting readability for users with visual impairments. 

b) Missing or incorrect ARIA attributes

Invalid or incomplete ARIA markup is used on some pages. Missing referenced IDs, unclear aria-expanded states, and interactive elements within aria-hidden areas reduce accessibility. 

c) Incorrectly labeled form fields

Some form elements lack proper labels or are associated with multiple labels. Accessible names are missing in some select elements or buttons. Fieldset and legend elements are not consistently used for grouping. 

d) Empty or unlabeled controls

Some buttons lack visible or machine-readable labels. Inappropriate tabindex usage further complicates navigation for keyboard or screen reader users. 

e) Faulty HTML structure in lists and navigation

Lists are sometimes incorrectly nested or contain invalid elements. Navigation sections are duplicated or insufficiently marked up, making orientation difficult for assistive technology users. 

f) Unclear heading structure

Missing main headings (h1), empty headings, skipped heading levels, and excessive use of low-level headings make the content structure unclear and difficult to follow. 

g) Redundant or broken links

Some links have identical text but lead to different destinations, or reference non-existent anchors. 

h) Missing alternative texts

Some images lack meaningful or any alternative texts, making content inaccessible for users with visual impairments. 

i) Redundant title attributes

Many HTML elements contain identical title attributes, offering no additional information and potentially disturbing screen reader users. 

j) Display issues during zoom

Zooming in (e.g., via browser) can cause layout overlaps, content misalignment, or clipping. 

k) Nested interactive elements

In rare cases, interactive components are improperly nested, creating usability issues. 

l) Visual text formatting

Block-justified text and underlined text without hyperlink function may hinder readability and cause confusion. 

m) Small or tightly spaced controls

Buttons or links may be too small or too close together, especially on touch devices. 

n) Non-accessible media content

Some embedded PDF files do not meet accessibility standards (e.g., missing alternative text). 

o) Missing autocomplete attributes

Input fields in registration and checkout processes do not support autocomplete, limiting ease of use for some users. 

5. Reason for Non-Compliance

Some of the issues listed result from legacy technical structures or outdated layouts. These are being addressed as part of an ongoing redesign and modernization of the website’s design, technology, and content.

6. Evaluation Method

The accessibility of these websites was reviewed in June 2025 via automated self-assessment tools, including: 

• axe DevTools 
•  WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool 
•  Lighthouse (Chrome DevTools) 

These tools were applied to several representative subpages. The evaluation focused on compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, in alignment with BITV 2.0.

7. Ongoing Measures to Improve Accessibility

We strive to continuously improve accessibility on our websites. Our voluntary actions beyond legal minimum requirements include: 

• Regular testing using automated tools and upcoming manual testing by users with disabilities
• Staff training to consider accessibility during design and content creation
• Revisions to color schemes and contrast to enhance readability for users with visual impairments 
• Expanded support for keyboard navigation and screen reader compatibility in interactive components 
• A feedback system allowing users to report accessibility issues directly 

Our goal is to provide all users—regardless of ability or assistive technology used—with equal access to all information and functionality on our websites.
