To inform people with specific needs about the accessibility of public places.
Each location visited by Access-i has an information sheet on access-i.be. The strengths and points of attention of the site are listed by type of disability.
It means that information about the accessibility of the location is available.
Visitors are invited to visit www.access-i.be, where they can find the strengths and points of attention for the certified location, by type of disability. This helps them plan their visit safely.
An Access-i certification is valid for 3 years from the date the audit is carried out, with the exception of events, for which the certification is valid only for the duration of the event.
This 3-year period helps ensure the reliability and up-to-date nature of the information presented on our website. In particular, it ensures that no changes or new facilities have been introduced in the meantime without being verified by our experts.
At the end of this period, Access-i contacts the operator again to renew the certification.
If no changes have been made to the facilities, the operator may renew their certification on the basis of a sworn statement confirming that no modifications have been made. A fee will then be charged.
Two renewal options are available :
If changes have been made to the facilities during the 3-year validity period, a new audit may be required to verify that the information still accurately reflects the situation. When a new audit is carried out, the certification is valid again for a period of 3 years.
If the operator does not wish to renew their certification, their information sheet is archived and removed from our website.

Yes, Access-i subcontracts audit and consultancy missions to its accredited accessibility expert offices. There are five of them, based in Wallonia and Brussels: AccessAndGo-ABP, Atingo, Esenca, Passe Muraille and Plain-Pied.
An auditor from one of the 5 Access-i accredited expert offices visits the site to take a series of measurements and photos, which are compared to Access-i criteria. Then, the different experts meet to discuss the site’s accessibility levels. The site is then “certified” by Access-i.
