Dear clients and friends,
The
European Accessibility Act establishes
mandatory accessibility requirements for certain
digital services available to EU consumers.
While it specifically names several sectors,
e-commerce services are explicitly within scope – and many
modern digital platforms fall under this category, even if not individually named.
The new act dictates that all EU Member States shall adopt laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with it. These measures should apply from
28 June 2025.
To assist with understanding the new regulatory requirements’ applicability and complying with their provisions, we are pleased to publish this guide, which explains
how the new regulation applies to e-commerce and digital platforms, outlines key
compliance requirements, and provides
practical implementation steps for businesses operating in the EU market.
