This accessibility statement applies to the app Meine Pegel version 2.1.4 and higher.

1. state of compatibility with the requirements

Due to the following incompatibilities and exceptions, this app is partially compatible with Section 10 Paragraph 1 L-BGG. Important aspects of the barrier-free design were considered, including:

• Font size adjustment possible via system settings

2. non-accessible contents

• Input fields are not linked to the labels at the code level (WCAG SC 1.3.1).
