The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) comes into force on June 28, 2025 and obliges you as an entrepreneur to make your digital products and services accessible. The aim of the law is to give people with disabilities and older people equal access to digital services.
Who is affected?
What are the requirements?
The requirements of the BFSG are clear: your digital presence must be accessible, operable, understandable and robust for all users. This includes, for example, ensuring that content is accessible to people with impaired senses, that navigation also works without a mouse and that all texts are easy to understand. The site must also be compatible with various assistive technologies. Compliance with international standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) or EN 301 549 is considered sufficient.
