Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Digital accessibility means that websites, apps, and digital content are designed so that everyone can use them – regardless of limitations such as visual, hearing, or motor impairments.

Companies offering products or services online, with at least 10 employees or over €2 million annual turnover, must make their digital offerings accessible according to the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

The BFSG applies from June 28, 2025. Companies must make their websites, apps, and digital platforms accessible by then to avoid fines and warnings.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is an EU directive that sets uniform requirements for the accessibility of digital products and services. It forms the basis for national laws such as the BFSG.
