Germany: Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (accessibility act) applies to products and services
Transitional relief: service providers may keep using products already deployed before 2025-06-28 until 2030-06-27, and may continue pre-existing service contracts unchanged until they expire or until 2030-06-27, whichever is earlier; self-service terminals in use before 2025-06-28 may run until the end of their economic life, capped at 15 years after commissioning.
Small, medium and large businesses selling in-scope products or providing in-scope services to consumers in Germany; micro-enterprises are exempt only for services, not for products they manufacture or sell.
