Accessibility
BFSG
Abbreviation for Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz
In short and in plain language
The BFSG is a German law.
It is about access for all. It comes from a rule of the European Union.
Many firms that sell to private buyers must make their offer easy for all to use. Online shops are one case.
There are exceptions for very small firms that offer services.
Definition
The BFSG is the German Accessibility Strengthening Act. It implements a European Union directive on accessibility. Under it, many providers of products and services for consumers must make their offer accessible, for example online shops. Exceptions apply to micro-enterprises that provide services.
