Frequently Asked Questions

Why digital accessibility

What is the BFSG?
On June 28, 2025, the Accessibility Reinforcement Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz= BFSG) will come into force. The Act contains specific provisions to promote equality and accessibility of products and services.

• Everyday life is increasingly taking place online. People work, study, and shop online. What is often overlooked, however, is that these opportunities are not equally accessible to all.
• Eye-Able® software solutions help you stay compliant and up-to-date with the latest digital accessibility standards.
• Our tools make it easy for you to identify and remove barriers yourself. However digital accessibility is much more than a legal requirement. In addition to increased reach and a positive image, there are many other benefits that website operators can reap.

Accessibility principles

• Perceivable
  Information and components on a website must be accessible to all people (e.g. through image descriptions, alternative text).
• Operable
  On an accessible website, all people, including those with physical or cognitive disabilities, can easily navigate and interact with all components (e.g. clear structure, and simple controls).
• Robust
  An accessible website is compatible with different devices and browsers (e.g. using standardized technologies).
• Understandable
  The language and content of an accessible website are easy to understand for all people, whether they have learning difficulties or are non-native speakers (e.g. through clear forms and simple language).

• Can all non-text content be displayed alternatively?
• Do your media, such as audio and video, offer appropriate alternatives and subtitles?
• Are colors, audio, and visual elements distinguishable?
• Are all functions accessible and operable from the keyboard?
• Are the provided texts written in clear and understandable language?
