Accessibility Statement – vemcom.com
Note on scope: in our assessment, the German Accessibility Act (BFSG) does not apply to vemcom.com. It addresses services provided to consumers in electronic commerce; no contract is concluded via this website, and the audience is commercial. We publish this statement voluntarily nonetheless and continue to pursue the requirements as a quality standard. This is a self-assessment, not legal advice.
1 · Scope
This statement applies to the website vemcom.com of VEMCOM Solutions GmbH.
2 · Compliance Status
The website is largely compliant with the requirements of the BFSG in conjunction with the harmonised standard EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.2 Level AA, with the limitation set out in section 3.
3 · Non-Accessible Content
Colour contrast of individual gold accents: decorative accent elements in the brand colour gold (#CC9E45) on a light background – large accent numerals, eyebrow labels and the pay-off “MORE THAN A SOLUTION” – do not meet the required contrast ratio of 4.5:1, or 3:1 for large text. These are decorative accents; all text that carries information – headings, body copy and controls – meets the contrast requirements. Retaining the brand colour is a deliberate design decision; a low-barrier alternative is being examined. Purely decorative icons are marked up as such and do not require alternative text.
4 · Measures (Implemented During the Build)
- Semantic HTML, logical heading structure
- Keyboard navigability, visible focus (
:focus-visible) - Contrasts ≥ 4.5:1 (gold bands with dark text verified)
- Touch targets ≥ 48 px,
prefers-reduced-motionrespected - Alt texts for images, skip link to content
- FAQ implemented as a native details/summary accordion, operable without JavaScript
- Meaningful names for controls, e.g. aria-label on icon links
4.1 · Contact form, reviewed on 11 August 2026
The form on the contact page was reviewed. Found to be in order: programmatic labelling of all fields, required fields marked via the required attribute and additionally in the visual design, text contrast within the fields (16.15:1) and on the submit button (6.57:1), native error handling and a visible focus ring. Two gaps were found and fixed: the fields carried no autocomplete attribute (WCAG 2.2 AA 1.3.5) – added for name, email, organisation and telephone. And the form’s success and error messages were not marked up as status messages (WCAG 2.2 AA 4.1.3) – added via role and aria-live.
5 · Preparation of This Statement
This statement was prepared on 3 September 2026 and is based on a self-assessment; no external audit or certification has taken place. It draws on a review using automated testing tools (Lighthouse/axe, WebAIM WAVE) together with a manual keyboard and structure check, and on a targeted review of the contact form on 11 August 2026 (labelling, required-field marking, contrast measurement, error handling, status messages). No testing with assistive technology, in particular with a screen reader, has taken place to date; we will update this statement once it has.
6 · Feedback & Contact (Report a Barrier)
