The European Accessibility Act (EAA).
What is required here?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) obliges the member states, among other things, to make online commerce accessible for consumers. It primarily concerns products and services that are most important for people with disabilities and for which different requirements most likely apply in the EU countries.

In Germany, this provision is implemented in the Barrier-Free Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG). 

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) must be implemented in national legislation by all EU countries by June 28, 2025.

Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG)

The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) is the implementation of the European Accessibility Act in Germany. The law promotes the equal and non-discriminatory participation of people with disabilities, restrictions and older people.

What does the law say about improving accessibility?

The law lays down specific provisions to promote equality and accessibility when it comes to products and services. This includes, for example, the obligation to create barrier-free access, the provision of barrier-free information and means of communication, the adaptation of workplaces and services and the promotion of the participation of people with disabilities in all areas of society.

Non-compliance with the law can result in fines of up to 100,000 euros, depending on the offense.

What does accessibility actually mean?

The Disability Equality Act (BGG), which came into force in 2002, defines accessibility as follows:

"Buildings and other facilities, means of transport, technical commodities, information processing systems, acoustic and visual information sources and communication facilities as well as other designed areas of life are barrier-free if they can be found, accessed and used by people with disabilities in the usual way, without particular difficulty and in principle without outside help..."

According to this law, people with disabilities should be able to use everything just as independently as anyone without a disability.

Absolute necessity for people with disabilities

Around 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Of these, 215 million are visually impaired and therefore have major problems with the usability of websites. It is no longer enough just to make buildings accessible; inclusion must also be practiced on the Internet. All people should be able to participate equally in digital media.

Why you should take action now:

1.

Increase your reach:

You improve the user experience for all users, reach more people and generate higher sales.

2.

Legal conformity:

Avoid unnecessary fines of up to 100,000 euros by complying with the European Accessibility Act.

3.

Inclusion internally and externally:

Show your employees and customers that digital accessibility is practiced throughout the company.

4.

Save costs:

Making websites accessible at a later date can be costly and time-consuming. Avoid high bounce rates.
