Accessibility: better for people. Better for risk.
Accessibility is both a human responsibility and a legal requirement. The best time to assess your status and improve systematically is now.
The Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG) became active on June 28, 2025. Authorities can issue fines for non-compliance (up to €100,000).
Two risks: legal & human
BFSG is active – enforcement is happening. Without compliance evidence, you risk fines, proceedings, and loss of trust.
- Authorities can issue fines up to €100,000
- Audits and complaints can start at any time
- Missing documentation weakens your position (e.g. §17 / good-faith)
- Reputational damage and lost tenders are real
Barriers frustrate users – and exclude people with disabilities from essential digital services.
- 1 billion people worldwide have disabilities
- Barriers exclude people from essential digital services
- Inaccessible sites lose potential customers

The Audit Paradox: Why Even Exempt Companies Must Test
BFSG mandates conformity assessments for all covered companies. Even if you plan to claim §17 exemption, you must first conduct an audit to document barriers and costs.
Audit = Mandatory
"Conformity assessment (Anlage 2 BFSG)" is not optional. It's your legal proof of due diligence, whether you comply or claim exemption.
Exemptions Need Evidence
§17 "disproportionate burden" requires audit data showing what barriers exist and remediation costs. No audit = no exemption defense.
navable = Fast & Easy
