The European Accessibility Act (EAA) mandates compliance with accessibility standards for entities selling products in the EU by June 28, 2025. Failure to adhere can result in fines from various member states, each having their own enforcement policies. Business leaders should recognize that improving accessibility not only prevents penalties but also enhances user experience and broadens market reach. Digital accessibility responsibilities largely fall on designers, who must advocate for strong compliance strategies within their organizations, linking accessibility to positive business outcomes.
As of June 28, 2025, not complying with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) can lead to fines for those selling goods in the EU. The EAA aims to standardize accessibility compliance across EU member states, creating potential risks of facing fines from multiple countries depending on their enforcement policies.
Good accessibility is crucial for user experience (UX). Ensuring compliance not only avoids penalties but also improves overall business performance by making products usable for a wider audience.
