BFSG · in force since 28 June 2025
Generate a BFSG accessibility statement
Produce a declaration under Annex 3 of the German BFSG - built from the barriers actually measured on your site, not a boilerplate template.
What the BFSG requires
Providers must state, in their terms or in another clearly perceivable way, how their service meets the accessibility requirements. Annex 3 names four elements:
- A general description of the service in an accessible format
- Descriptions and explanations needed to understand how the service is performed
- A description of how the service meets the relevant accessibility requirements
- The competent market surveillance authority
Why not just use a template?
A template cannot answer the third element. It doesn't know what is actually inaccessible on your site. AllyProof scans your pages and writes that section from the violations it finds - named and ordered by severity.
See how scanning, fixing and the statement fit togetherDoes the BFSG apply to you?
For services covered by the BFSG, an exemption applies to microenterprises with fewer than 10 employees and annual turnover or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding EUR 2 million. This is not a blanket product exemption. Check whether your offering and circumstances meet those conditions.
What this statement is not
It is not a certificate of conformance. Automated testing detects common WCAG failure patterns but cannot fully evaluate a success criterion. In Deque's audit dataset, automated testing found 57.38 percent of recorded accessibility issues - a share of issue volume, not of WCAG criteria that can be completely tested. The generated statement describes measured status; a complete assessment additionally requires manual review.
