DIGG supervises it, and the government has decided to fold DIGG into PTS from 1 January 2027. Lag (2023:254) carries out the European Accessibility Act and has applied since 28 June 2025. Services from microenterprises, with fewer than 10 employees and at most 2 million euro turnover or balance sheet, are exempt (10 §). Förordning (2023:676) names the supervisors. PTS covers e-commerce, banking and electronic communications services. Mediemyndigheten covers access to audiovisual media, and Myndigheten för tillgängliga medier covers e-books.
