Access areas at entrances with a gradient of 3% or more must be designed as ramps. With a length of up to 10 m, a longitudinal gradient of up to 4% is permitted. Ramps must be safe to walk and drive on. Drainage must be ensured in the outdoor area.
Ramps in public areas must always be designed in accordance with DIN 18040-1 with a maximum gradient of 6% and without a transverse gradient!

That’s a manufacturer’s opinion
6% gradient, 100% gradient, what’s the difference really
Everything is relative anyway. Just choose a different plane of reference and you’re good to go!
