5 steps businesses should take now to meet Europe’s new accessibility rules
- The European Accessibility Act will take effect on June 28, 2025, requiring businesses offering goods or services to EU customers to comply with accessibility rules online.
- This regulation emerged because many websites have accessibility issues, and enforcement will begin in less than a month, posing real risks to unprepared businesses.

- Businesses must act quickly by fixing common issues, integrating accessibility into workflows, testing updates, and publishing accessibility statements to reduce risk and improve digital experiences.
