![EAA FAQ: Scope, Penalties, and Ongoing Compliance Requirements](https://blog.usablenet.com/hubfs/EAA%20Blog%20Cover.png)

The EAA has been enforceable since June 28, 2025. This FAQ explains how the European Accessibility Act affects businesses, detailing its scope, penalties, and practical compliance steps.

If your company operates in more than one EU country, now is the time to review how accessibility is monitored, documented, and maintained. [**Book a meeting with UsableNet**](https://calendly.com/alessandro-libani-usablenet/30min?month=2025-12) to assess your current approach and identify any gaps.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA), formally known as Directive (EU) 2019/882, establishes accessibility requirements for digital products and services sold in the EU. With enforcement active, compliance is no longer a one-time milestone; it is an ongoing responsibility.

To help navigate compliance, we’ve compiled clear answers to the most common legal and practical questions we've received in the last couple of weeks surrounding the EAA and its implementation in each EU member state.

## What is the EAA, and how does it relate to WCAG?

The European Accessibility Act is a pan-EU law that requires certain digital goods and services to be accessible to persons with disabilities. While the EAA doesn’t mandate WCAG by name, most EU member states are aligning their national laws with **WCAG 2.1 AA** or the broader **EN 301 549** standard, which references WCAG.

## Does the EAA apply to my company?

The EAA applies if you:

- Sell digital products (e.g., ATMs, smartphones, e-readers)
- Provide digital services (e.g., ecommerce platforms, banking, ticketing, transport apps)
- Operate within the EU or provide services to EU consumers

Microenterprises (fewer than 10 employees and under €2 million turnover) are exempt. All others must comply. [Learn more about which businesses are in scope.](https://info.usablenet.com/the-european-accessibility-act-eaa-what-businesses-need-to-know)

What happens if we are not compliant?

Non-compliance risks include:

- Investigations by your country’s enforcement authority
- Fines, which vary by member state      
- Public exposure on non-conformance registers
- Loss of contracts, especially in public procurement
  
  Each member state defines its penalties, but enforcement is mandatory across the EU.

| Country | Maximum administrative fine (EUR) |
| --- | --- |
| Germany | 500 000 |
| Austria | 200 000 |
| France | 250 000 |
| Spain | 600,000 (plus higher for repeat infractions) |
| Ireland | 200 000 (plus possible director liability) |
| Italy | 150 000 |
| Denmark | 10 000+ (tier‑1; higher for repeat breaches) |
| Finland | 10 000+ (tier‑1; higher for repeat breaches) |

Amounts shown are statutory maxima for first‑tier infractions. Recurring or severe breaches may result in higher sanctions.

## How will EAA enforcement work?

Enforcement is handled at the national level. Each EU country designates one or more National Enforcement Authorities (NEAs). They are actively responsible for:

- Receiving and investigating complaints
- Conducting audits
- Ordering remediation
- Imposing sanctions or referring to a court

 Most NEAs also offer mediation, and many require organizations to[post an accessibility statement detailing their compliance.](https://info.usablenet.com/accessibility-policies-and-statements-is-essential-for-compliance)

## How long do we have to fix an accessibility issue after a complaint?

It depends on the country, but most allow:

- 30–90 days to respond to an initial inquiry
- 3–6 months to complete remediation

 Businesses actively working on remediation may be eligible for grace periods under **Article 32**.

## Can we be fined in multiple countries for the same issue?

Yes. If you provide services or sell products in multiple EU countries, you may face parallel investigations and fines in each jurisdiction. Coordination is encouraged—but not guaranteed.

Example: A cloud platform with users in Germany and France could be investigated separately by each country’s NEA.

## How do we Demonstrate Ongoing Compliance?

Provide the NEA with:

- An accessibility audit report
- A remediation plan with clear timelines
- Logs or screenshots of progress
- Staff training records and budgets
- An updated accessibility statement

This documentation can help delay or avoid enforcement actions.

## What is a "declaration of conformity" under the EAA?

For digital products, a declaration of conformity is a signed legal statement that the product meets EAA requirements. [See the official EU template here:](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32008D0768)[EUR-Lex Annex III](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32008D0768)<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32008D0768>

## What are the best steps to Maintain Compliance?

1. Audit your sites, apps, and documents for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
2. Publish an accessibility statement on every applicable interface ([here’s why that’s essential](https://info.usablenet.com/accessibility-policies-and-statements-is-essential-for-compliance))
3. Train your staff on accessibility and EU-specific legal obligations
4. Build a remediation roadmap with budget and timelines
5. Document everything—you need to show your progress

Companies that implement and maintain these processes are better positioned to demonstrate compliance and reduce enforcement risk.

### [Alessandro Libani](https://blog.usablenet.com/author/alessandro-libani)

I work closely with organizations across Italy and the broader EU as they navigate the European Accessibility Act and evolving digital accessibility requirements. At UsableNet, I collaborate with digital, legal, and compliance teams to make sense of regulatory expectations and turn them into clear, practical action. Through this work, I share insights on what EAA readiness actually looks like in practice and how companies can approach accessibility in a structured, sustainable way. My goal is to help organizations move beyond last-minute compliance efforts and build accessibility into their long-term digital strategy. With Italian roots and fluency in both English and Italian, I bring a cross-market perspective to the conversations shaping accessibility across Europe.
