Starting June 28, 2025, businesses selling in the EU must comply with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) or face penalties. The EAA aims to unify accessibility standards across EU member states, making digital accessibility a critical responsibility for designers. Fines for non-compliance can vary by country, as each member has the discretion to determine penalties. The business case for addressing accessibility is clear: compliance not only avoids fines but also enhances user experience and overall brand value.
As of June 28, 2025, if you sell stuff in the EU, not complying with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) can get you fined.
The EAA aims to standardize accessibility compliance across the EU, meaning you must comply if you sell products to people there, or face potential penalties.
If you don't adhere to accessibility standards in the EU, you can get fined, potentially by multiple countries.
Each EU member state decides individually on compliance violations, so penalties can vary significantly, possibly leading to multiple fines.
