GUBSE Aktiengesellschaft strives to design the website

www.sihot.com to be as barrier-free and accessible as possible.
The goal is to provide all users with largely unrestricted access
to information, products, and services. This accessibility statement applies to the publicly accessible content under
the domain www.sihot.com. It is provided on a voluntary basis for a
private-sector company.

Scope of Application

This statement refers to the central website
www.sihot.com, including its German- and English-language
subpages, insofar as these are directly managed
and operated by GUBSE Aktiengesellschaft.

The following are not included:

Any linked third-party offerings or external portals,
systems and applications operated by external service providers,
downloads and documents originating from external sources.

Status of Compliance with Accessibility Requirements

Based on current knowledge, the website www.sihot.com is
partially compliant with general recommendations regarding digital accessibility.
Certain content and functions do not yet fully meet all
requirements, particularly those derived from the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG).

This assessment is based on an internal, non-formally certified self-evaluation.
A comprehensive external or certified audit in accordance with WCAG or EN 301 549
has not yet been conducted.

Basis of Assessment

The assessment of the level of accessibility is based on:

internal editorial and technical reviews of selected pages,
spot checks using common browsers and devices,
a general alignment with the WCAG guidelines.

Due to the ongoing development of the website, this assessment represents the
current status and may change as a result of technical adjustments and content
updates. Measures to Improve Accessibility

GUBSE Aktiengesellschaft is continuously working to further improve the accessibility of its website. These efforts specifically include:

• the ongoing revision of content and structures;
• the optimization of usability via keyboard and assistive technologies;
• the gradual improvement of color contrasts and readability;
• the review of forms and interactive elements.

Adjustments are implemented gradually, particularly within the scope of regular revisions, technical maintenance, and editorial updates.

Inaccessible Content

Despite our best efforts, the following limitations may currently exist:

• Alternative Text: Individual images, graphics, or icons may have incomplete or missing alternative text descriptions.
• Color Contrast: Certain color combinations may not consistently meet the recommended minimum contrast ratios.
• Forms and Interactions: Forms and interactive components may not yet be fully optimized for use with a keyboard or screen reader in all instances.
• Documents and Downloads: Some PDF files or other downloadable documents may not yet be available in a fully accessible format.
• Media Content: Embedded media content (e.g., videos) may not consistently feature subtitles, transcripts, or audio descriptions.

For newly created content, our goal is to identify and reduce accessibility barriers as early as possible in the process. Feedback and Contact
