Accessibility Statement

Manufaktur Bavaria Robe-Shop (EXTRA Group GmbH) is committed to making this online shop accessible in line with the recognised standard WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA — the basis of both the European Accessibility Act / German Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG, via EN 301 549) and Title III of the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

This statement applies to the online shop robe-shop.com, operated by EXTRA Group GmbH, Mathes-Deutsch-Weg 24B, 84036 Landshut, Germany.

robe-shop.com offers handcrafted judicial and academic robes made in Bavaria as made-to-measure commissions; accessories are available from stock. Products are selected and ordered online, payment is processed through the connected payment service, and orders are delivered by shipping.

Conformance status

This statement describes our accessibility benchmark, review methods and their limits. Each verification date refers to the last passed run within its documented scope.

We check whether people can read, understand and use our pages. Daily monitoring and in-depth reviews serve different purposes. Our benchmark is WCAG 2.2, Level AA; we identify additional quality checks separately.

Our review methods in detail

Daily monitoring

On the pages included in a run, axe-core checks machine-detectable WCAG issues. Checks include computable colour contrast, headings, page structure and the match between visible labels and accessible names. A keyboard pass examines reachability, focus and keyboard traps. We also check reflow at 320 CSS pixels and run an additional check at 375 pixels. The 375-pixel pass may use a documented sample of different page types. On up to four selected pages, we produce accessibility-tree transcripts and look for controls without accessible names.

In-depth review

axe-core, the keyboard pass, IBM Equal Access and Nu HTML Checker examine the pages included in a run. Siteimprove Alfa and QualWeb add rule-based checks on a sample of up to eight pages representing different page types. On that sample, we also examine:

  • reflow, text resizing, increased text and line spacing, structure and language marking;
  • obscured focus, reduced motion, form fields, error feedback, status messages, and open menus, dialogs and other interactive states;
  • target sizes under WCAG 2.5.8, and indications that dragging, authentication, consistent help or redundant entry require further review;
  • media and available captions or text alternatives; assessing their meaning and accuracy remains a separate task;
  • the quality of link and control names and image descriptions: AI may support the assessment; image comparisons cover up to six content images per selected page;
  • accessibility-tree reading structure and cross-browser rule checks in Chromium, WebKit and Firefox;
  • link behaviour, reachable destinations and essential legal information, with additional checks for layout shifts during loading.

For up to 20 PDF links found in the included HTML pages, veraPDF checks the machine-testable requirements of PDF/UA-1. Reading order and meaningful content require additional assessment.

What a result establishes

Each run records its page coverage, sample, results and failed checks. A passed result applies to that scope; it does not establish complete WCAG conformance. Findings from different tools are compared. A finding from one tool is neither automatically disproved nor automatically confirmed. Items requiring judgement remain visible. Accessibility-tree transcripts do not replace testing with a real screen reader such as NVDA; those usability checks and human assessments are documented with their own scope. Checkout, sign-in or third-party areas that were not tested are not covered by the automated result.

Continuous automated monitoring. Last automatically verified on 9 November 2026 — with no automatically detectable failures against the tested success criteria. Automated testing covers only part of the requirements and does not replace a full manual review.

Last passed in-depth run: 8 November 2026. The record applies to the pages and samples included in that run. Its methods and scope are described below; this date does not establish a complete manual review or today’s state.

We additionally test effect: whether a link really goes where it claims to go, and whether the legal notice, privacy policy and accessibility statement are effectively reachable from every page.

Known limitations

The checkout is handled by our service provider Shopify in a separate, dedicated environment. Some interactive components delivered through third-party applications (for example the fabric and size selectors) are monitored and improved on an ongoing basis. Where individual elements are not yet fully accessible, we remedy them continuously.

Chat assistant

Our website offers an AI-based chat assistant ("Marlene") as an additional, optional advisory channel. The chat dialog is designed for accessibility: it is fully keyboard operable (the Escape key closes the dialog and focus returns to the chat button), new replies are announced to screen readers via a live region, interface labels follow the language of the site, images in the conversation carry text alternatives, colour contrast follows WCAG 2.2 AA, and the interface respects the operating system's reduced-motion preference. Because a static page scan cannot see the opened dialog, the open chat is additionally covered by a dedicated automated accessibility check (axe-core, WCAG 2.2 AA) that runs every night against the live site. No functionality of the shop requires use of the chat — all advice is equally available through the contact channels listed below.
