- Audit expectation
- none
What it requires
- Applies to a person who offers or presents a product or service, including a media product or service, that could endanger a minor's development or safety, and to an entrepreneur who enables access to it; this is the residual duty, since the Mediengesetz's own child-protection provisions govern media specifically.
- Take suitable and reasonable measures to ensure that minors of the relevant age group do not obtain access to such a product or service.
- Offer audio-visual media products and services, in particular films and entertainment software, to a minor only consistent with a minimum-age classification.
- Commercial providers: apply that minimum-age classification and display it clearly, following the reference-body recommendations the Office for Social Services designates.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

Logging duty
Articles 67 and 68 require providers to ensure by suitable and reasonable measures that children get no access to unsuitable products and services, to give audio-visual products a minimum-age classification and to display it; they name no age check, no record, no retention period and no access right. The Government may set the measures by ordinance (Article 67(6)(b)), which was not read.

What this law does
A person who offers or presents a product or service, including a media product or service, that could endanger a minor's development or safety, and an entrepreneur who enables access to such a product or service, must take suitable and reasonable measures ensuring that minors of the relevant age group do not obtain access.
Audio-visual media products and services, in particular films and entertainment software, may only be offered to, or possessed and consumed by, a minor consistent with a minimum-age classification that a commercial provider must apply and clearly display, following reference-body recommendations designated by the Office for Social Services.
The Act's own general child-protection framework is expressly subordinate, for media specifically, to the media legislation's own child-protection provisions (the Mediengesetz above); it operates as the residual, non-media-specific duty for a product or service more broadly. The Kinder- und Jugendgesetz was adopted by the Landtag on , published as LGBl.
2009 Nr. 29 on , and its own Art. 110 fixes as its Inkrafttreten (subject to the referendum period lapsing unused).
