Accessibility statement

Rohde & Schwarz strives for a safer and connected world. Innovation is part of our DNA. We have been dedicated to R&D in cutting-edge technologies for more than 90 years. Our products and solutions empower industrial, regulatory and government customers to attain technological and digital sovereignty.

As a global technology group that is constantly pushing limits, we want everyone to have unrestricted access to our content. We are continually improving the accessibility of our website and aim to ensure that every user is able to utilize our online information independently and without restrictions.

When creating our digital offerings and websites, we are guided by the recommendations and standards of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). These internationally recognized guidelines and requirements serve as our guiding principles as we work to improve and develop our online content. The continually updated Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) (current version: 2.1) rate the conformance of websites on a three-level scale: A, AA and AAA. The company aims to achieve the second WCAG accessibility level (AA) on rohde-schwarz.com.

Rohde & Schwarz also provides the UserWay Website Accessibility Widget on the site. This plugin allows users to select individual settings for better accessibility.

However, some areas of the site are not yet fully compliant with the WCAG accessibility standards. We are gradually upgrading these areas to achieve full compliance.

Please help us to improve accessibility

Rohde & Schwarz is constantly optimizing the areas of the website that do not yet meet the WCAG accessibility standards (Version 2.0, AA). Please contact us if you encounter accessibility restrictions when visiting rohde-schwarz.com.
