Talk to our experts and get your digital product & services audited for accessibility and ensure EAA compliance.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) Directive 2019/882 is a landmark European Union (EU) law that requires certain products and services manufactured and provided in the European market to be accessible for persons with disabilities. It follows a commitment on accessibility made by the EU and all Member States upon ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
The EAA specifies accessibility standards for various digital products, including computers, telephones, and televisions, as well as services like banking and transportation. Its goal is to enable people with disabilities to participate fully in society and enjoy equal opportunities.
At BarrierBreak, we have a team of accessibility experts who are well versed with WCAG testing and EN 301 549 Testing. We understand EAA requirements and empower your business to meet EU accessibility standards.
Key Points to Remember
- The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a directive that aims to improve the accessibility of products and services within the European Union (EU).
- The EAA will come into force on June 28, 2025, by which all relevant products and services must comply.
- The EAA differs from the Web Accessibility Directive and EN 301 549, focusing on a broader scope of products and services beyond just web accessibility.
- The EAA is a law and therefore it is enforceable.
