Overview of the EAA
The EAA mandates that many consumer products and services offered within the EU, including e-commerce, banking, and transportation, are accessible. To comply with the law, organizations must ensure that consumer-facing digital experiences—such as websites and mobile apps—related to covered products and services are usable for people with disabilities.
Regarding digital accessibility, the presumptive standard for EAA compliance is EN 301 549, the harmonized European standard. All 27 EU Member States were obligated to incorporate the EAA into their laws by 2023 and began enforcement in June 2025.
How does the EAA impact U.S. businesses?
The EAA applies to any organization that offers covered products and services to consumers in the EU—regardless of where that organization is based. That means U.S. businesses selling to European customers must comply with the law, or risk facing penalties.
The good news? If your organization is already compliant with U.S. laws like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), you’re well on your way to EAA compliance—but there are additional requirements to consider. Learn more about the differences between the EAA and the ADA in our guide.
