Essential Guide to the European Accessibility Act (EAA) for Businesses
1xINTERNET shared a blog post detailing the European Accessibility Act (EAA), introduced by the EU in 2019 to enhance accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly. With the compliance deadline of 28 June 2025, businesses must ensure their products and services, including websites, mobile apps, e-commerce, and banking services, meet accessibility standards.
The EAA applies to companies with at least 10 staff and a turnover above €2 million, including non-EU businesses trading in the EU. National authorities will manage enforcement, with penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to €100,000. The EAA references EN 301 549 standards, aligning with WCAG 2.1 AA for digital accessibility.
To assist businesses, 1xInternet offers a free accessibility audit, providing a comprehensive compliance report and necessary recommendations. Immediate action is recommended to ensure compliance by the deadline.
