Recite Me offers a range of accessibility solutions to support organisations on their journey to compliance with the European Accessibility Act.

What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?

The European Accessibility Act is a transformative law requiring all digital products and services in the EU to be accessible to people with disabilities. It impacts public organisations and private companies with over 10 employees or annual revenue above €2,000,000. Websites, apps, and e-commerce must meet strict standards or face penalties. With the act now fully enforceable it 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 €2,000,000 are affected.
Websites, mobile apps, and other digital services must meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
All new content published after June 2025 must be EAA compliant.
Pre-existing content published before June 2025 must be made compliant by June 2030.
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:
