Compliance

Why accessibility compliance matters

From June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) will make accessibility a legal requirement for many digital products and services operating in the EU. Businesses who are not compliant face multiple risks.

Legal action and fines

Individuals and representative groups will take legal action against non-compliant organisations. Regulators will impose fines.

Reputational damage

Excluding users with disabilities signals a lack of care. It puts your brand at risk of public complaints, negative press and lost credibility.

At risk

Is your business at risk?

The EAA will require many organisations to make their digital services accessible. If your business operates in the EU, there's a strong chance the rules will apply.

Consumer-facing digital services

Banks, telcos, ecommerce, media and transport providers must ensure their websites, apps, kiosks and ticketing systems are accessible.

B2B software and service providers

If you build or supply digital products to European clients, accessibility may be required, even if you don’t serve end-users directly.
