Accessibility Statement of Druckerei C.H. Beck

1 Introduction

The C.H.Beck printing company, as a branch of Verlag C.H.Beck GmbH & Co. KG is committed to making its website and mobile applications accessible in accordance with legal requirements.

We offer customers of our loose-leaf publications the opportunity to order a limited number of faulty or missing components free of charge.
We also provide information about our solutions and services for our customers from publishing houses and industry.

2. Legal requirements and scope

The accessibility requirements for us are derived from the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) and the Verordnung zum Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSGV), derived from the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

The specific technical measures are based on the guidelines of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 with conformity levels A and AA.
This accessibility statement applies to the website https:/becksche.de.

3. Fulfilment of accessibility requirements

This website is partially accessible, as not all requirements are fully met.

Through regular reviews and adjustments, we ensure that our digital offerings comply with legal requirements and are continuously improved to ensure high accessibility and security for all users.

Methodology of testing: Self-assessment (internal tests with different browsers and keyboard navigation) as well as automated tests with Pally.

4. Non-accessible content

Technical barriers
- iFrames for third-party content: Third-party content is integrated on becksche.de via iFrames, e.g. for job offers
- Incorrect or missing HTML structure: semantically correct structures are missing in some places, e.g. unused headings or incorrect links between labels and form fields.
Content barriers
- Missing or insufficient subtitles for videos and audio: Some older videos on the website do not contain subtitles or audio descriptions.
- PDF and Office documents not accessible: Many PDF documents (especially older ones) are not consistently tagged, contain poorly structured content or complex tables that are difficult for screen readers to access.
- Text in images: In several places, texts are embedded directly in images, which limits readability when enlarged or by assistive technologies.
