What is an accessibility statement – and who needs one?
The accessibility statement documents the status of digital accessibility of a website or application – including information on existing barriers, feedback options for users, and legal requirements.
It is mandatory for public bodies and many companies – according to BFSG, BITV, and the EU Directive – at the latest from June 28, 2025.
Mandatory for companies
Required for companies with 10 or more employees or €2 million annual turnover, if digital content or applications are provided.
For digital offerings
Applies to websites, forms, booking systems, documents, and any form of accessible information technology.
Legal basis
Legal bases are the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG), BITV, BGG, and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
Continuous updating
The statement must be technically findable, regularly reviewed, and updated when there are changes to text, function, or structure.
The most common hurdles when creating a statement
Many website operators face practical and legal questions when creating the accessibility statement. Especially entities providing digital information technology for users must meet various requirements and implement legal regulations.
