What is the BFSG 2025 deadline and who does it apply to?

The BFSG 2025 deadline is set for June 28, 2025, marking the date when the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz officially takes effect in Germany. This law applies to a wide range of businesses offering digital products and services, including e-commerce platforms, banking services, and electronic communications. In the B2B sector, any company providing essential digital services or interactive platforms to the German market must ensure compliance. Micro-enterprises with fewer than ten employees and an annual turnover of under two million Euros are generally exempt from these requirements. However, larger B2B organizations must audit their websites to avoid severe penalties. Adhering to these guidelines ensures your services remain accessible to all users. It also protects your business from potential legal disputes and operational disruptions. Implementing compliance measures early is the most effective way to prepare for this transition.
