Declaration on accessibility


SPRIND GmbH endeavours to make its website accessible without barriers in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Disability Equality Act (BGG) and the Barrier-Free Information Technology Regulation (BITV 2.0) implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102.

This accessibility statement applies to https://www.sprind.org and all sub-pages.


Accessibility status


The accessibility requirements derive from section 3 paragraphs 1 to 4 and 4 of BITV 2.0, which was issued on the basis of section 12d BGG.

This website is only partially accessible according to the above stated guidelines.


Non-accessible content


Some video content does not have audio description or transcripts (WCAG 1.2.3)


There is video content on the website that does not provide audio description or other text-based alternatives such as transcripts. This circumstance applies to all videos produced at the time of issuing this statement.

For videos produced in the future, consideration will be given to offering a transcript version of the video or the option of audio description.

Some text contrasts do not meet the contrast minimum (WCAG 1.4.3)


Text on images does not have consistently sufficient contrast. A remedy for these problems is being planned.

In some videos, the open captions do not have a consistently sufficient contrast. In future videos, the text contrast of the open captions will be taken into account.

Accessibility of documents


The PDF documents offered on the site are not accessible.

A remedy for these problems will be considered for future PDFs.

As an alternative, we offer plain text (.txt) files for the documents in addition to PDF files.
