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.
  • The EAA mandates that digital content be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust, addressing issues like alt text, color contrast, keyboard navigation, captions, and form labeling.
  • A study of 15,000 websites revealed that each page contained roughly 297 accessibility problems on average, with potential penalties for noncompliance reaching up to $900,000 in Sweden, $332,000 in France, and $133,000 in Germany.
  • 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.
