The European Accessibility Act (EAA) aims to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability or age, can access and utilise certain digital products and services.

What falls under the EAA?
  • Computers and operating systems
  • ATMs, ticketing and check-in machines
  • Telephones and smartphones
  • TV equipment related to digital television services
  • Telephony services and related equipment
  • Audiovisual media services, such as television broadcast and related consumer equipment
  • Services related to air, bus, rail and waterborne passenger transport
  • Banking services
  • eBooks
  • eCommerce

When does the EAA come into effect?

From 28th June 2025, digital products and services will need to be accessible for people with a disability and the elderly. *

What does the EAA mean for organisations?

If you provide digital products or services in the EU, regardless of where you are based, you must comply with the regulations. *

Failure to comply may result in:

  • A class A fine (€5,000) or imprisonment of up to 6 months or both
  • A fine of up to €60,000 or imprisonment of up to 18 months or both
