European Accessibility Act (EAA) and EN 301 549 Compliance
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) takes effect in June 2025. It requires businesses operating in the EU digital market to meet mandatory digital accessibility standards, meaning that entities doing business in the EU will need to ensure EAA compliance. The law applies to websites, mobile apps, e-commerce, financial services, and telecommunications, ensuring people with disabilities have full access to digital services.
The EAA is a directive, meaning each EU member state must adopt it into national law. Some countries, like Ireland, have created new accessibility laws. In contrast, others have modified existing regulations, leading to inconsistent enforcement across the EU.
With the deadline approaching, businesses must act now to avoid legal risks and ensure EAA compliance across all digital platforms.
