Since June 28, 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been in full effect, introducing stricter accessibility requirements for digital services across the EU. The EAA sets out functional accessibility requirements that digital services, including websites and user interfaces, be perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users with disabilities.
