Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung 2.0
What it asks for
- Web content of federal bodies meets EN 301 549, with an accessibility statement and a feedback mechanism.
How AccessFold helps
- WCAG evidence mapped to EN 301 549 clause 9.
- A statement draft built from your assessment.
What this does not cover
- Requirements of the ordinance beyond web content, such as German Sign Language and Easy Language content.
- EN 301 549 covers more than web content — non-web ICT, software, documentation and support services. AccessFold assesses web content, so evidence maps to its web chapter (clause 9).
AccessFold provides diagnostics and evidence relevant to this framework. It does not determine compliance.
