A technical accessibility inspector in Luxembourg is a regulated professional whose main role is to verify that buildings, public spaces, and certain projects comply with legal accessibility requirements (especially for people with disabilities or reduced mobility).
The technical accessibility inspector acts as an independent technical verifier. Their mission is to ensure that construction or renovation projects respect Luxembourg’s accessibility laws. They check compliance with accessibility standards and issue official certificates proving that a project meets legal requirements. These certificates are often mandatory for permits or final approval of works.
Main tasks
- Control of plans (before construction)
- Review architectural plans.
- Verify accessibility features (entrances, circulation, signage, parking, etc.).
- Issue a certificate of conformity for the plans if compliant.
- Control of works (after construction)
- Inspect the actual construction on site.
- Check whether the built reality matches accessibility requirements.
- Deliver a final conformity certificate if everything is compliant.
- Certification and legal validation
- Prove compliance with accessibility laws.
- May be requested by authorities (minister, municipality) at any time.

Their work fits into a wider ecosystem referring to the European Accessibility Act and including bodies like the Office de la surveillance de l’accessibilité des produits et services (OSAPS), which monitors accessibility of products and services and ensures compliance at market level.
