In addition, all PDFs included in the website are not accessible according to the PAC standard.

There is a lack of description in plain language and, if applicable, a variant in sign language.

b) Disproportionate burden

The barrier-free implementation of the PDFs contained in the website and the creation of the discussion in plain language currently represent a disproportionate burden. They are therefore an exception.

c) The content does not fall within the scope of the applicable legislation

A version in sign language is not mandatory.
