The European Accessibility Act (EAA) establishes a unified regulatory framework for a broad range of products and services in the EU. The EAA aims to ensure that offerings are accessible to people with disabilities and functional limitations —both in physical and digital environments. While accessibility requirements for services apply only if they are offered to EU consumers, requirements for products are not limited to consumer use. The EAA’s objective is to harmonize accessibility standards across the EU, reduce market fragmentation, and promote inclusion.
