HTA Austria endeavours to ensure that its website is accessible in accordance with the Federal Act on Accessibility of Federal Websites and Mobile Applications (Web Accessibility Act – WZG), Federal Law Gazette I No. 59/2019, as amended.

This accessibility statement applies to https://aihta.at/.

Status of compliance with requirements

Due to the following exceptions, this website is partially compliant with Conformity Level AA of the ‘Web Content Accessibility Guidelines – WCAG 2.2’ and with the applicable European Standard EN 301 549 V3.2.1 (2021-03) in accordance with Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is not accessible for the following reasons:

Disproportionate burden

We provide links to many PDF and Excel documents. Unfortunately, it is sometimes beyond our control to provide documents from other sources in an accessible format. Some documents may not be tagged, which can make them difficult for screen reader users to access. As a result, WCAG Success Criterion 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value) is not currently met. Please contact us if you require the content of a specific document in a different format.

Preparation of the Accessibility Statement

This statement was prepared in October 2026 based on an assessment carried out by gugler* MarkenSinn.
