EAA-Check
The European Accessibility Act(EAA) is an EU directive aimed at improving accessibility for products and services. Its
goal is to remove barriers for people with disabilities and enable them to have equal access to everyday things. The
EAA sets minimum requirements for the accessibility of products such as computers, smartphones, ATMs, and services
like e-commerce or online banking. Companies in the EU must comply with these standards starting in 2025.
