# Meet the European Accessibility Act as a legal duty

By Erik Bergstedt, Agent Wranglers. Updated 2026-10-20.

- Level: Required
- Chapter: [Product and sector laws](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/compliance/product-and-sector-laws)
- Rule: Record whether the European Accessibility Act covers your products or services. If it does, meet EN 301 549, publish how you meet it, and test it in every build.
- How: The Act, Directive (EU) 2019/882, has applied since 28 June 2025. It covers online shops, consumer banking, e-books, passenger transport services, electronic communications and access to audiovisual media. A microenterprise is exempt for services. That means fewer than 10 staff and a turnover or balance sheet of at most 2 million euros. Contracts signed before 28 June 2025 may run unchanged for up to five years. Publish accessibility information as Annex V asks, in your terms or a statement. If you claim a disproportionate burden, write the assessment and renew it every five years. The [accessibility law rule](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/website/accessibility/accessibility-law) covers the standard, and [accessibility in CI](https://agentwranglers.se/playbook/testing/non-functional-tests/accessibility-in-ci) covers the tests.
- Check: The obligations register has an EAA decision. When it applies, the build runs accessibility tests on every page. The accessibility information page answers 200 and has a date from the last 12 months.
