EU Accessibility Act Compliance Hub
This hub helps decide whether a product or consumer service is covered by the (Directive (EU) 2019/882) and map requirements to design, QA, and release work.
Review scope before release or procurement. The general application date was 28 June 2025, but pre-existing service contracts, products already used to provide services, and some self-service terminals can follow separate Article 32 transition rules. Member State law determines whether the optional terminal rule was adopted.
Validate product or service scope, the responsible operator, the 28 June 2025 application date, and the applicable requirements against both the Directive and the national law that implements and enforces it in each Member State where you operate.
Key dates for EU Accessibility Act planning
Track the transposition, application, and transition milestones that affect covered products, covered consumer services, and legacy self-service terminals.
Choose the next accessibility decision
New to the Act? Start by classifying the actual product or consumer service and assigning the operator role. If scope is already documented, jump to requirements, evidence, transitions, standards, enforcement, or a focused question.
Start here: scope, category, and role
Decide whether the offering matches an Article 2 category, which date and national implementation matter, and whether the organisation acts as manufacturer, authorised representative, importer, distributor, or service provider.
Requirements, exceptions, and enforcement
Map the applicable Annex I outcomes, separate the service-microenterprise exemption from Article 14, document any claimed limit, and understand the national enforcement framework.
Implementation, testing, and evidence
Turn applicable requirements into owned controls, version-specific tests, product or service records, supplier acceptance gates, and evidence that remains current after change.
Deadlines, transitions, and consumer journeys
Separate the general application date from the five-year limit for pre-existing service contracts, the 28 June 2030 service-equipment transition, any nationally adopted self-service-terminal useful-life rule, and emergency-communications timing, then apply the result to ecommerce and checkout delivery.
Standards, comparisons, and focused questions
Use EN 301 549 and WCAG without overstating legal coverage, keep other accessibility regimes separate, or go directly to the FAQ when the question is already known.
Turn EU Accessibility Act scope and evidence into owned implementation work
This hub helps route EAA work by product, service, operator role, and release path. Assessment Autopilot can convert the guidance into owners, evidence requests, and review checkpoints; Research Copilot can support cited scope or interpretation questions.
- Start with the product or service category, the market or service date, and the responsible economic operator.
- Use Assessment Autopilot to request mappings, accessibility test evidence, product documentation, service information, and records where relevant.
- Use Research Copilot for cited questions about Article 2 scope, service-provider information, product operator duties, standards mapping, and market surveillance evidence.
- Keep design, engineering, QA, legal, procurement, and support records connected to the same cited accessibility evidence file.
