Content that is not accessible
At present no material restrictions are known. Should embedded files or content added later affect conformity, they will be named in this statement.
Preparation of this statement
The statement was prepared in August 2026 on the basis of a self-assessment (examination of the templates, the contrasts, keyboard operation and semantics). It is updated when the offer changes materially.
