The European Accessibility Act (EAA) deadline is fast approaching, with firms needing compliance by June 28, 2025. The Act mandates that all services targeting EU customers ensure accessibility, initiated by a 2019 directive to be integrated into national laws by June 2022. Microenterprises are exempt from compliance but are encouraged to improve accessibility nonetheless. Companies failing to comply could face severe penalties, including fines up to EUR 100,000 in Germany. However, first-time violators may have the opportunity to make necessary adjustments before facing sanctions.
The European Accessibility Act mandates that websites and applications serving EU customers must comply with accessibility regulations by June 28, 2025, or risk serious penalties.
All EU countries were required to implement the EAA into law by June 28, 2022, which implies that the transition period essentially ended then.
Companies must comply with the EAA requirements or face potential sanctions from marketing surveillance agencies, including heavy fines for non-compliance.
Microenterprises are exempt from EAA compliance, but are still encouraged to enhance accessibility for better customer experience.
