Declaration of a non-compliance with accessibility requirements as a legal person
Last update
The mission of the Surveillance authority for the accessibility of products and services (Office de la surveillance de l’accessibilité des produits et services - OSAPS) is to monitor the accessibility of products and services on the Luxembourg market.
Accessibility consists of:
- ensuring equal opportunities and equal access to information, products and services for all, in particular disabled and elderly people;
- making texts, images, forms and internet browsing comprehensible to the general public.
The amended law of 8 March 2023 on accessibility requirements for products and services allows you to report a product or service that does not comply with accessibility requirements to OSAPS.
Who is concerned
any legal person who notices that a product or service is not compliant with the applicable accessibility requirements.
An association can submit a report related to non-compliance in their capacity as a legal entity.
Prerequisites
The non-compliance you intend to report must relate to a product or service covered by the law on the accessibility of products and services, namely:
Products concerned
- consumer IT equipment such as computers, smartphones and tablets and their respective operating systems;
- payment terminals, check-in machines, cash dispensers or ticketing machines – with the exception of those installed on board the means of transport, except in cases provided for by law;

- e-readers.
Services concerned
