What is BITV 2.0?
BITV 2.0 (Barrierefreie-Informationstechnik-Verordnung) is the German federal regulation implementing accessibility requirements for public-sector information technology. It applies to federal authorities, their digital services, and websites. BITV 2.0 is aligned with the European standard EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 Level AA. With the EAA now enforced across Germany, BITV's scope is effectively extended to private-sector businesses selling to German consumers.
