Especially affected:
-
Online services and e-commerce platforms
-
Banks, travel providers, media and communication services

What the EAA means for your business
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) requires businesses to make their digital products and services accessible by June 28, 2025, across the EU. The goal is a uniform legal framework for an inclusive internal market.
-
EU-wide directive: European Accessibility Act (EAA)
-
Effective from June 28, 2025 for many digital services
-
Based on WCAG 2.1/2.2 and EN 301 549
This includes e-commerce platforms, mobile apps, e-books, ATMs, ticketing systems, and communication and payment services. Customer interfaces on hardware such as set-top boxes or terminals are also affected.
The main technical references are the EN 301 549 standard and the international WCAG 2.1/2.2 guidelines. Businesses must ensure that their systems are usable for people with impairments – technically, visually, and content-wise.
Non-compliance may lead to market bans, recalls, and fines. Early, structured implementation is recommended – ideally supported by monitoring, audits, and training.
