Our Commitment to Digital Accessibility

This accessibility statement has been prepared in accordance with the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) and the German Accessibility Enhancement Act (BFSG – Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz).

At CYBEX, we are committed to ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their personal abilities or technical circumstances, can access and use our products and digital services — especially through our website www.cybex-online.com.

We strive to meet the requirements of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, an internationally recognized set of recommendations for improving the accessibility of web content.

Accessibility is a key priority for us, and we continue to work diligently with our developers, designers, and external specialists to improve and maintain the accessibility of our online presence.

Our website is currently partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. We are actively working to address areas that do not yet fully meet the requirements.

What We Are Doing

To make our website accessible to the widest possible audience, we have implemented the following measures:

• Alternative text for meaningful images, videos, and non-text content
• Keyboard navigability support
• Consistent layout and structure across all pages
• Use of semantic HTML elements (e.g., headings, landmarks, lists) to support screen readers
• Clearly labeled form fields and a logical tab order
• Tables marked up with appropriate header associations for clarity
• Ongoing internal audits and automated accessibility testing (e.g., with tools like Wave, Lighthouse)

Our Approach

We view accessibility not as a one-time task but as an ongoing responsibility. While not all areas of our website may yet be fully optimized, we are actively working to identify and remove barriers step by step.

Our goal is to offer an inclusive and equitable user experience for all — and we take that responsibility seriously.

We Value Your Feedback

If you encounter any accessibility barriers while using our website, or if you have suggestions for improvement, we would greatly appreciate your feedback:

Report an accessibility issue

We aim to review and respond to feedback within 14 calendar days. While we may not respond individually to each submission, all input is reviewed and taken seriously.

Technical Compatibility

Our website is optimized for use with current versions of major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) and commonly used assistive technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver. For the best experience, we recommend keeping your browser and assistive technology up to date.

Statement Status

This statement applies to the website www.cybex-online.com. It was last reviewed and updated on 28.06.2025.

The assessment was conducted through internal evaluation and automated testing, based on the WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.

Known Accessibility Limitations

Despite our efforts to ensure accessibility of our digital services, we are aware of the following limitations:

• Captions and Subtitles: Not all videos currently provide full captioning or subtitle options. We are actively working on extending this coverage to all relevant content.
• Duplicated information from image links: For links that include both text and an image, screen readers may announce both, leading to duplicated information.
• Missing image descriptions: Some pages contain images without alternative descriptions. Users relying on screen readers cannot perceive the content of these images.

We are committed to addressing these known issues and will prioritize their resolution in upcoming updates.
