For modern Magento 2 stores, technical excellence requires fulfilling two distinct, yet interconnected, mandates: legal magento compliance (specifically, the GPSR) and user magento accessibility (adhering to WCAG standards). The goal is to ensure that critical product information - safety warnings, operator details, and promotional labels - is not only present but delivered inclusively to all users, including those relying on assistive technologies like screen readers.

This technical guide explores how the qoliber ecosystem, by pairing Product Labels Pro with the GPSR Module, allows developers to achieve both compliance and accessibility with a unified, clean architectural approach.

1. The GPSR Mandate Through an Accessibility Lens

The EU General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) requires merchants to display specific, crucial information on the Product Detail Page (PDP), such as the economic operator's contact details and access to safety documentation. For magento compliance, this data must be present. For magento accessibility, this data must be perceivable, operable, and robust.

GPSR Data Accessibility Requirements:

• Screen Reader Compatibility: All operator text and documentation links must be correctly structured using semantic HTML and ARIA labels so that screen readers can interpret the content accurately.
• Language Consistency: Safety information must be presented in the language of the target market (multistore configuration).
• Non-reliance on Visuals: Information must not be conveyed solely through non-textual means (e.g., an unlabelled graphic).

The qoliber GPSR Module simplifies the technical task of managing and displaying this data cleanly, providing a better foundation for WCAG adherence.

2. Product Labels Pro: Visual Merchandising Meets WCAG

Product labels ("Sale," "New") are inherently visual elements. However, in a WCAG-compliant environment, their meaning must be accessible to visually impaired users. Furthermore, their deployment must not cause technical failures like Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), which violates the WCAG principle of Operable content.

Product Labels Pro and Accessibility:

• CLS-Zero Rendering: The module utilizes Server-Side Rendering (SSR) to ensure labels appear statically, eliminating the CLS often caused by late-loading dynamic elements. CLS is a major UX barrier, often failing the WCAG requirement for stable interfaces.
• Alternative Text Integration: Developers can ensure that the functional purpose of the label (e.g., "This item is 20% off") is conveyed via accessible means, rather than relying only on the color or shape of the visual badge.

By protecting Core Web Vitals (CWV) and providing clear access to the underlying text, Product Labels Pro ensures merchandising is both high-impact and inclusive. Find technical specifications on the Product Labels Pro extension page.

3. The qoliber Synergy: Clean, Auditable Data Flow

The shared benefit of using qoliber solutions for magento compliance and magento accessibility is the clean code architecture. When features are implemented with minimal JavaScript and standardized data fields, the resulting HTML is inherently easier for developers to audit against WCAG 2.1/2.2 standards.

This integrated approach allows developers to focus on higher-value UX improvements rather than debugging conflicts or trying to inject ARIA attributes into messy legacy codebases.

4. The Hyvä Foundation for Accessibility

The Hyvä theme provides the best foundation for WCAG compliance in Magento due to its clean, semantic HTML and minimal frontend dependencies. However, accessibility is only as strong as the weakest module. The qoliber commitment to Hyvä compatibility ensures that essential features like GPSR data display and dynamic labels actively support, rather than undermine, the site’s high accessibility standards.

Conclusion

Achieving true excellence in EU commerce requires developers to merge magento compliance (GPSR) with magento accessibility (WCAG). The qoliber combo of Product Labels Pro and the GPSR Module provides the necessary technical tools to manage this dual mandate effectively: delivering critical product information dynamically, auditably, and inclusively, while protecting frontend performance.
