Overview
The Accessibility Reinforcement Act (BFSG) is the implementation of the European Accessibility Act in Germany. The Act promotes the equal and non-discriminatory participation of people with disabilities, limitations and older people. The Accessibility Reinforcement Act will come into force on 28 June 2025.
)
The law promotes equality and accessibility for products and services, requiring barrier-free access, information, communication, workplace adaptation, and the participation of people with disabilities in all areas of society. Non-compliance can result in fines of up to 100,000 euros, depending on the administrative offense.
)
The German Disability Equality Act (BGG), in effect since 2002, defines accessibility as the ability of people with disabilities to find, access, and use facilities, transportation, information systems, communication tools, and other designed areas of life in the same way as people without disabilities, without difficulty or outside assistance. This ensures that people with disabilities can use everything independently, just like anyone else.
)
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.

Facts
Micro-enterprises (less than ten employees and no more than 2 million euros in annual turnover) that provide services are exempt from the law. However, micro-enterprises that place products on the market are covered by the BFSG.
The main objective of the law is to remove obstacles and barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from fully enjoying their rights and freedoms.
Among other things, companies will have to offer the following products barrier-free in the future:
