European Accessibility Act applicability triage

Find out if the European Accessibility Act likely applies to your product.

A fast public tool for EU-facing teams that need a practical first answer: likely covered, possibly covered, may need legal review, or likely not covered — plus a tailored first-step checklist and a starter accessibility statement you can refine internally.

Check EAA applicability Read public help

Built for small businesses, agencies, e-commerce, ticketing and travel, fintech, and product teams selling into the EU.

Examples: where the EAA is more likely to matter

  • An e-commerce business selling products online to EU customers
  • A ticketing platform for events, rail, air, or bus travel
  • A travel booking flow with search, booking, payment, and confirmation steps
  • A fintech app or service used by consumers for payments or everyday financial tasks
  • A self-service customer portal or app central to buying, booking, managing, or paying

Examples: where the tool may lean away from coverage

  • A simple brochure website with no buying, booking, account, or transactional journey
  • A local business site showing company info, opening hours, and contact details only
  • An internal tool used only by employees
  • A private prototype or pre-launch concept with no live public service
  • Borderline, mixed, or cross-border cases may need legal review

FAQ

Is this legal advice?

No. AccessReady provides practical applicability triage and preparation guidance based on your inputs. It is not legal advice and does not provide legal certainty.

Does this audit my site or app for WCAG issues?

No. This is not an automated accessibility audit or scanner. It helps you understand likely EAA scope and prepare the next steps.

Who is this for?

Small businesses, agencies, e-commerce teams, ticketing and travel services, fintech teams, and product owners selling into the EU who need a fast first view of likely EAA relevance.

What do I get after the triage?

A likely applicability outcome, plain-language reasoning, a first-step checklist, and a starter accessibility statement draft for internal review and refinement.

When does this matter?

Directive (EU) 2019/882 has applied since 28 June 2025. Teams that may be in scope should understand their position and prepare accordingly.

What if my case is not clear?

Some cases sit in a grey area. In those cases, the tool may return “Possibly covered” or “May need legal review” so your team can escalate appropriately instead of relying on false certainty.
