FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About EAA Self-Assessment

What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?+
The EAA (Directive 2019/882) is a landmark EU law requiring key digital products and services to be accessible to people with disabilities. It became fully enforceable on June 28, 2025, with each member state setting its own penalty framework — fines can reach up to 5% of national turnover in some jurisdictions.
How do I run an EAA self-assessment?+
Start with the free EAA Ready Quiz for a quick compliance score. Then use the WCAG 2.2 Audit Checklist to test against all 87 success criteria. For a comprehensive evaluation, use the Provisional Assessment tool — a 50-point self-assessment that generates a weighted conformance score and exports as a professional Word report.
What is the difference between WCAG, EAA, and EN 301 549?+
WCAG 2.2 is the W3C technical standard for web content accessibility. EN 301 549 is the harmonised European standard that references WCAG 2.1 AA and adds requirements for non-web software, hardware, and documents. The EAA is the EU law that mandates compliance with EN 301 549 for products and services sold in the EU.
Which standard should I use for EAA compliance?+
The harmonised standard for EAA is EN 301 549 (2021-03). For web content, this standard directly references WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Meeting WCAG 2.2 AA satisfies the web requirements and exceeds the minimum.
Are microenterprises exempt from the EAA?+
Microenterprises (fewer than 10 employees and ≤ €2M turnover) are exempt from the EAA's service requirements, but not necessarily from national laws or product requirements.
What happens if you don't comply with the European Accessibility Act?+
Non-compliance can result in significant fines set by each EU member state, orders to withdraw products from the market, public warnings, and mandatory corrective action. Use the EAA Fine Calculator to estimate your maximum penalty for any member state.
What accessibility self-assessment tools are available for free?+
AccessibilityRef offers free tools including the Colour Contrast Checker, Heading Structure Analyser, Alt Text Quality Checker, Focus Order Visualiser, WCAG 2.2 Audit Checklist, EAA Ready Quiz, EAA Fine Calculator, Readability Checker, and ARIA Role Reference — all with no login required.
How do I use this site to build a compliance programme?+
Use the Compliance Programme Template to generate a governance framework, the Self-Assessment Pipeline for a guided 30-point audit, and the Statement Wizard to produce your accessibility statement. Pro tools include batch auditing, compliance report builder, and VPAT editor for a complete compliance documentation suite.
