The European Accessibility Act is now fully enforceable as of June 28, 2025, requiring compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA standards across products and services in the EU market. Organizations face immediate penalties including fines, market bans, and legal liability for non-compliance. The act covers computers, mobile devices, e-commerce, banking services, and transport systems, with exemptions only for microenterprises. Companies must conduct gap analyses, implement accessibility statements, and embed accessibility into their development processes to avoid serious financial and reputational consequences.
