Terms
The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:
- Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
- Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.

WCAG 2.x Report
PDF output of wiki pages
PDF output of wiki pages is currently not sufficiently tagged and therefore cannot produce accessible PDFs.
It is, however, possible for users to upload and link accessible PDFs in the wiki.
Support documents
BlueSpice is documented in BlueSpice-based wikis. Therefore, the same criteria for Web/Authoring tools also apply for Support Docs. When content in and for these wikis is created (such as videos and wiki pages), these pages are frequently reviewed for accessibility (such as heading levels, alt-text, table syntax and captioning/transcripts for videos). In addition, the helpdesk footer contains an accessibilty link to an accessibility disclaimer that allows users to provide feedback.
Bundled extensions
All extensions and functionality developed by HalloWelt! is regularly tested for accessibility issues starting with BlueSpice 4.1. Other bundled extensions not developed by HalloWelt! can have issues that need to be resolved by the according developers. We take as much time as possible to also review these extensions and provide accessibility information for them. See attached list of extensions.
The WCAG test with its 60 checkpoints is a subset of the BITV-Test (92 checkpoints ). Each WCAG checkpoint therefore maps as follows to EN 301 549:
| WCAG example | Corresponding BITV checkpoint |
|---|---|
| Checkpoint 1.1.1 | BITV prefixes the WCAG checkpoints with the number 9. Therefore, this checkpoint is referenced as 9.1.1.1.
In addition the WCAG checkpoints also always apply to the following BITV checkpoints: 11.8.2: Accessible content creation 12.2.4: Accessible support documentation |
