Accessibility Statement
Nordpolradio strives to make its website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and EU Directive 2019/882.
1. Status of Compliance
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA. We are continuously working on making all content and functions fully accessible.
2. What we have already implemented
- Semantic HTML with clear landmarks (<header>, <main>, <nav>, <footer>).
- Visible keyboard focus on interactive elements.
- Meaningful alternative texts for images and graphics (e.g., our logos).
- Descriptive page and form labels.
- High-contrast design (dark green, red, white) for better readability.
- Responsive design that adapts to screen size and zoom levels.
- Avoidance of distracting automatic animations.
3. Non-accessible Content
Despite our efforts, some areas may not yet be fully accessible:
- External content (laut.fm audio streams and widgets) is outside our direct area of responsibility and may not be fully optimized for screen readers.
- User-generated content (e.g., submitted greetings) cannot always be guaranteed to have perfect semantic markup or language tags.
4. Preparation of this Statement
This statement was created on September 26, 2026, based on a self-assessment.
