What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA) ?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2025 is a transformative law requiring all digital products and services in the EU to be accessible to people with disabilities. Taking effect June 2025, it impacts public organisations and private companies with over 10 employees or revenue above 2 million euros. Websites, apps, and e-commerce must meet strict standards or face penalties. Time is running out to achieve compliance—acting now is essential to ensure inclusivity, avoid fines, and stay competitive across the EU market.

Key Points You Need to Know about the European Accessibility Act (EAA)

The EAA applies to organisations within the EU or those trading into the EU.
Private sector organisations with over 10 employees or an annual revenue above 2 million euros are affected.
Websites, mobile apps, and other digital services must meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
Organisations need to be fully compliant by June 2025.
Non-compliance may result in fines and legal action.

What are the risks of EAA Non-Compliance?

Failure to meet EAA standards can open your organisation up to a range of financial and non-financial risks, including lawsuits, negative brand image and loss of revenue.

What are the laws you need to know?

The European Accessibility Act makes use of the European standard, also known as ‘EN 301 549’. This is a standard that is grounded in the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, specifically WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

However, there is no strict guidance and each of the independent member states are able to create their own guidelines. Providing accessibility is upheld to a sufficient standard. You can learn more about EAA legislation in the following European countries:

• UK • Ireland • Belgium • Denmark • France • Germany • Italy • Poland • Portugal • Spain • Sweden • Switzerland • The Netherlands
