European Accessibility Act: the first year in practice
The European Accessibility Act became enforceable on 28 June 2025, and the first six months produced sanction files in Spain, Germany and the Netherlands along with several forced mass-remediation projects. Directive 2019/882 covers consumer-facing products and services, and the technical bar regulators apply is EN 301 549, which takes WCAG 2.1 level AA as its baseline.
