What is the accessibility Act in Europe?

The European Accessibility Act represents a significant step forward in ensuring equal access to products and services for persons with disabilities across the European Union. By establishing harmonized accessibility requirements and removing country-specific barriers, the EAA creates a more inclusive marketplace that benefits both businesses and consumers.

As the June 28, 2025, implementation deadline approaches, organizations serving EU consumers must ensure their products and services meet the accessibility standards outlined in the directive. Those that embrace the spirit of the EAA and prioritize inclusive design will not only avoid penalties but also gain competitive advantages in an increasingly accessibility-conscious market.
