The European Accessibility Act (EAA), obliges member states to make online commerce accessible for consumers. It mainly 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 Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz, BFSG).
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) must be implemented in national legislation by all EU countries by June 28, 2025.
✔️ Achieve a wider reach
✔️ Compliance avoids penalties
✔️ Benefit from a positive image
✔️ Adapting web pages retrospectively is cost-intensive
The law sets out 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 administrative offense.

"Structural and other facilities, means of transportation, technical commodities, information processing systems, acoustic and visual sources of information and communication facilities, as well as other designed areas of life are barrier-free if they can be found, accessed, and used by persons with disabilities in the generally accepted manner, without particular difficulty, and generally without outside assistance..."
So, according to this law, people with disabilities should be able to use everything in the same way and independently as any person without a disability can.
Gain insights in our free webinars:
Around 1 billion people worldwide have a disability. Of these, 215 million are visually impaired and therefore have major problems with website usability. 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.
