Website Owners: EQS Group AG
Website Domain: barrierfree.integrityline.com
Certificate Status: Bronze
Certification Date: 2022-09-14
General Comment of the Certification Authority:
For this WACA certification, 7 templates of the relevant web application were checked for web accessibility according to WCAG 2.1 - A and WCAG 2.1 - AA (https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG20/quickref/). A strong orientation towards accessibility can be seen in the tested templates.
As a representative sample for the entire application, a complete use case of a test version including login/logout and mailbox in German and English language was selected for the certification audit. The product website www.eqs.com/de/compliance-loesungen/integrity-line/ was not in the scope of this audit.
The following contents or functions of a website and web apps are generally excluded from the WACA Certificate audit:
- Websites containing non-German and/or English language content
- Apps for mobile applications
- PDFs
- Live broadcast time-based media
- Content that is only available to a closed group of people and not to the general public (extranets, intranets)
- External third-party content that was neither financed nor developed by the website operator and is therefore not subject to their control (such as Google Maps, YouTube, Facebook, other Iframes and widgets, ...) as follows:
- Third-party content that you cannot interact with (such as Facebook tracking pixels) is excluded from the certification process.
- Third-party content that does not provide a basic core functionality is excluded from the certification process.
- Third-party content that provides additional information and is essential to users needs to provide an alternative.
- If a website consists largely of third-party content, certification will be rejected and the application will not be accepted. The website is not auditable.
- Online maps and map services, though these must provide an accessible alternative
- Google Captcha (ReCaptcha V2): valid only for the Silver and Bronze level

Criterion 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships: Bronze
- Lists: in the menu a list would be a good semantic element
(this also appears on subpages and is not explicitly mentioned there)
Criterion 1.4.10 - Reflow: Silver
- at a certain viewport size the logo overlays the first menu item
not quite perfect now but was optimized
Criterion 2.4.1 - Bypass Blocks: Silver
- a skiplink to the content is now available, the skiplink should be "germanized" (in the german language version)
Criterion 2.4.2 - Page Titled: Bronze
- the html title "barrierfree" does not describe the page content
=> ensure meaningful page title
("barrierfree" as prefix/project name also appears on other subpages and is not explicitly mentioned there)
because of the test setup bronze is tolerable
Criterion 2.4.3 - Focus Order: Bronze
- when closing overlays (mailbox, login, error message) the keyboard focus sometimes jumps to the top of the page (occurs also on subpages and is not explicitly mentioned there)
=> ensure useful tab order
Criterion 3.3.1 - rror Identification: Bronze
- some error messages are only in english (also in the german language version) => should be germanized
e.g. Incorrect incident number or password. Note: If you cannot remember your login details, you will need to re-submit your report in order to receive new login details.

Criterion 1.4.1 - Use of Color: Silver
- mobile still not quite optimal but tolerable
Criterion 2.1.1 - Keyboard: Bronze
- mobile still not quite optimal but tolerable
Criterion 2.4.7 - Focus Visible: Bronze
- the keyboard focus of the voice recording button is somewhat unclear.
Criterion 3.3.1 - rror Identification: Silver
- mobile still not quite optimal but tolerable
Criterion 4.1.1 - Parsing: Silver
- no real impact on assistive technologies observed - therefore tolerable
Criterion 4.1.2 - Name, Role, Value: Bronze
- the mobile menu button does not show it's status if open or closed (aria-expanded should be used - like in the mobile menu button on the startpage)

Criterion 1.1.1 - Non-text Content: Bronze
- The big "callsign" is a font icon and has no alternative description
=> introduce an sr-only (or similar) description (e.g. "Attention")
Criterion 2.4.2 - Page Titled: Bronze
- the title is now "barrierfree - Form Submitted", this is now better but also in the German page in English - but tolerable for Bronze
EQS Integrity Line 2: T5 Postfach
Criterion 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships: Bronze
- headings: in each content tab a heading should be inserted as H2 (e.g. <h2>writing traffic</h2>)
semantics: too less semantics in the listing of the case and the files, ere the use of e.g. lists would be more appropriate
Criterion 2.4.7 - Focus Visible: Silver
- The keyboard focus of the voice recording button is a bit unclear. It is not immediately clear when you can activate the button and when not. It should be made clearer when the focus is on the button (possibly by an outline).
