Germany's BITV 2.0 is a set of regulations that ensures digital services, such as websites and apps, are accessible to people with diverse abilities. It aligns with the EU’s broader accessibility standards and promotes inclusivity in the digital realm.
BITV 2.0 (Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung) is a German regulation that ensures public sector websites and apps are accessible to all users, including neurodivergent individuals. This law aims to remove barriers in digital content, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can access and use digital services with ease.
BITV 2.0 mandates that all public sector websites and apps must adhere to the international WCAG 2.1 guidelines at Level AA, with a particular emphasis on clear navigation, text alternatives for non-text content, accessible forms, and compatibility with assistive technologies. Websites must also provide alternative methods for accessing key information, such as audio descriptions or transcripts for video content.
BITV 2.0 applies to all federal, state, and local government websites, public sector services, and websites that provide public services in Germany. While the law specifically targets public sector organizations, private companies are encouraged to follow these guidelines to ensure equal access and avoid discrimination.
