Accessibility
Making Your Products BFSG-Compliant
In line with the Barrier-Free Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG), we’ve established new standards to ensure accessibility. We support you in planning your products so that accessibility is considered and implemented from the very beginning. We also adapt your existing documents to comply with current regulations such as the Accessible Information Technology Ordinance and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

We offer a free preliminary check of your files for compliance with accessibility standards and will provide you with the results at no cost. You will receive personal feedback within five business days.
For testing, we require InDesign files (version 2022 or later) as well as all fonts used. Please note that the maximum file size is 100 MB. You can upload your data for the accessibility check using our submission form.
