Digital accessibility

The requirements for accessibility

Specific rules apply to offers and services. The laws define the product and service features that must be accessible to people with disabilities. These features are subject to general accessibility requirements, which are also defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

In order to make services accessible, organisations must:

  • Comply with accessibility standards (e.g. WCAG).
  • Check whether services are compliant and document any deviations.
  • Provide easy-to-find information about the accessibility of their offerings.
  • Offer customer support and continuously improve their offerings.
