Overview

What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and Why Does it Matter?

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a sweeping EU directive that mandates digital accessibility for a wide range of products and services, from ecommerce and banking to apps, websites, and self-service kiosks.

It doesn’t just apply to European companies. If your digital experiences are available to EU users, the EAA applies to you.
