Introduction
B&R Industrial Automation GmbH is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies. This accessibility statement applies to www.br-automation.com/
Compliance Status
This website is partially compliant with the requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/2102 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies due to the following exceptions.
Non-accessible Content
The following content is not accessible for the reasons listed below:
- Success Criterion 2.1.1 – Keyboard:
Certain content is currently not fully operable using a keyboard.
- Success Criterion 2.4.7 – Focus Visible:
Some interactive elements lack a visible or sufficiently visible focus indicator.
- Success Criterion 1.1.1 – Non-text Content:
Some icons or graphical links lack meaningful alternative texts or link descriptions.
- Success Criterion 1.4.3 – Contrast:
In some areas, the color contrast between text and background is lower than the recommended ratio of 4.5:1.
- Success Criterion 1.3.1 – Info and Relationships:
Some form fields on the website currently lack programmatically identifiable labels. As a result, assistive technologies cannot reliably determine the purpose of these fields.
Unlabeled or empty heading elements make navigation and content structure more difficult for users of assistive technologies.
- Success Criterion 1.4.5 – Images of Text:
Information presented in images containing text is not accessible to assistive technologies, as it is not provided as actual text.
Measures to Improve Accessibility
We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website. Planned measures include:
- Improving Keyboard Operability:
Ensuring that all functions and content of the website are fully operable via keyboard.
- Making Keyboard Focus Visible:
Ensuring that all interactive elements have a clearly visible focus state to facilitate navigation for keyboard users.
- Accessible Labeling of Icons and Images:
Icons, images, and other graphical elements will be provided with meaningful, programmatically identifiable alternative texts or link descriptions.
- Optimizing Color Contrast:
Ensuring sufficient contrast between text and background, as far as feasible within the existing corporate design (CI).
- Correct Labeling of Form Fields and Filters:
All form input fields and filter elements will be provided with semantically correct, machine-readable labels.
- Replacing Text-heavy Images with Actual Text Content:
Images containing extensive text information will be replaced with accessible text wherever possible to improve readability and accessibility.

Empty or improperly used heading elements will be removed to ensure a clear and logical content structure.
