The European Accessibility Act promises to have a significant impact on the accessibility of digital products and services provided to EU citizens with disabilities — and also on product manufacturers and service providers who are active in the EU. With only a year to go until the June 2025 deadline for organizations to meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the clock is ticking.
This fireside chat explores the history and intentions of the act and the requirements it places — both on product manufacturers and service providers and on member states. We’ll also explore how EAA requirements align with international standards and other accessibility regulations. Additionally, we’ll share practical advice on what organizations across the world can do to prepare for the EAA.
Some of resources on European Accessibility Act can be found in European Accessibility Act (EAA) Resource Center of TPGi.
