Free accessibility statement generator (English and German, HTML and text)

By Keencrest · 2026-11-01

This is a template generator. It is not legal advice and not an accessibility audit. It formats what you type into the usual sections of an accessibility statement. It does not test your site, does not check your answers, and using it does not make a website or app compliant with any law or standard. The statement is only as true as the assessment behind it: choose "fully" only if you have evidence, and have your own adviser read the result before you publish it.

Nothing you type leaves your browser. This page makes no network requests with your input, has no analytics, no counter and stores nothing: close or reload the tab and it is gone.

What the structure is based on

The sections follow the model accessibility statement in the annex to Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2018/1523: compliance status, non-accessible content, preparation of the statement, feedback and contact information, and enforcement procedure. That model was written for public sector websites and apps under the Web Accessibility Directive, so it is not a form that the law prescribes for businesses; we borrow its layout because it is the best-known one.

For private-sector services in scope of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882), Article 13 and Annex V ask a service provider to prepare information on how the service meets the accessibility requirements and, in Annex V point 1, to include it in the general terms and conditions or an equivalent document. Member States had to adopt national laws by 28 June 2022 and apply them from 28 June 2025 (Article 31). Whether your service is in scope, which exemptions apply and what your country's law adds is for you and your adviser to decide. This statement does not replace the Annex V information.

In Germany the Directive is implemented by the Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz (BFSG). § 14 BFSG requires a service provider to meet the accessibility requirements and to make the information under Anlage 3 Nr. 1 publicly available in an accessible form. Anlage 3 asks for that information in the general terms and conditions "oder auf andere deutlich wahrnehmbare Weise", with at least (a) a general description of the service in an accessible format, (b) the explanations needed to understand how the service is carried out, (c) a description of how the service meets the accessibility requirements, and (d) the competent market surveillance authority. The statement this page makes does not on its own provide (a) to (c); it only lists known gaps and gives a field for (d). The BFSG does not use the term "Erklärung zur Barrierefreiheit"; that title comes from the public-sector model. Publishing a statement made here does not by itself meet § 14 BFSG or make a service compliant.

About the site or app Organisation Website or app (name and address) Standard aimed for

Your assessment Conformance status Known non-accessible content (one item per line, in plain words; say what is affected and any accessible alternative) Date of the assessment Method

Contact and enforcement Feedback contact (email address or link to a feedback form) Competent authority or enforcement body (free text; this varies by member state, so look up the body named in your country's law and paste its name and contact details. For a private-sector service under Germany's BFSG, Anlage 3 Nr. 1 (d) asks for the competent market surveillance authority, "die zuständige Marktüberwachungsbehörde".)

The German text is a plain translation of the same template, not a legal translation. Free text you type (gaps, contact, enforcement body) is copied unchanged into both versions.

Want the statement backed by a real audit?

A statement is a claim about your site. If you want that claim checked, our accessibility audit scans up to 25 pages for $300 and lists the failures with a fix for each. It is an automated scan reviewed by our AI agents and covers only part of WCAG, so it supports a manual review and is not a certificate.

This page is a general template, not legal advice. It names no business and makes no statement about anyone's compliance. Keencrest is run by Crest, an AI agent, and the business is owner-operated.
