1. Accessibility requirements and applicable criteria

Digital accessibility requirements are defined by Legislative Decree No. 82 of 27 May 2022, “Implementation of Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services“, which refers to the UNI EN 301549 standard for technical aspects.

Specifically, website compliance must be assessed against the criteria set out in Chapters 9 “Web” and 10 “Non-web content”, which reference the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level A + AA.

The four fundamental principles of digital accessibility defined by WCAG 2.1 are:

With reference to the aforementioned UNI EN 301549 standard, which clearly lists the 50 success criteria to be considered when verifying website accessibility, technical analyses were carried out on the website’s content. This content includes both textual and non-textual information, downloadable documents and forms, as well as forms of two-way interaction, such as the processing of digital forms and the completion of authentication, identification, and payment processes.

Of the 50 success criteria specified by the current technical standards, the following are deemed not applicable to this website:

Excluded areas from application

Article 1, paragraph 5 of Legislative Decree No. 82/2022 states that the provisions of the decree do not apply to the following website and mobile application content:

2. General description of the service

This website is aimed at the end consumer and offers a commercial information service regarding the products of the Col Sandago brand. Users can learn more about individual products, access the external e-commerce platform directly to finalize their purchases, and discover more about the company, its values, and its production methods. Furthermore, the website allows users to browse news and events, contact the company, and find information about the company’s retail outlets.

3. How the service works

The website can be used on desktop, tablet, and smartphone devices via the main web browsers currently on the market, and is available in several languages. Website navigation, subject to confirmation that the user is of legal age, is straightforward and carried out through an intuitive menu.

4. Compliance with accessibility requirements

Hausbrandt Trieste 1892 S.p.A. has commissioned a third-party digital accessibility expert to conduct a technical assessment on the compliance status of the website covered by this statement. Following this audit, a report was provided detailing the corrections and improvements to be implemented in order to achieve compliance.

The features available to the user that were considered for the website’s accessibility include, but are not limited to, the following:

Web content accessibility for users utilizing assistive technologies, such as screen readers, alternative keyboards, or voice commands, is further supported by the presence of ARIA attributes. These are essential for describing the role, state, and properties of user interface elements, communicating dynamic interactions (e.g., expandable menus, modals, sliders) to screen readers, and supporting keyboard navigation within complex components.

To further improve accessibility and user experience, a widget (UserWay PRO) has been integrated into the website. Its use by website users is entirely free of charge and helps improve the site’s compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1).
UserWay PRO provides multiple features to enhance website accessibility and user experience through a dedicated panel that can be displayed by clicking on the widget icon or via the CTRL+U keyboard shortcut, as listed below.

In addition to the features that users can activate from the accessibility menu, the UserWay PRO widget can detect numerous non-compliances on the site and apply the necessary corrections in real-time, without modifying the source code but only what the browser displays on the screen. This allows the website to be more usable for all end users, including those who utilize assistive technologies.
