CONFORMANT

Does the European Accessibility Act apply to my business?

Six questions. No signup, nothing sent anywhere, nothing stored — this runs entirely in your browser.

General guidance only, not legal advice. Member states transpose and enforce the EAA individually, so thresholds, exemptions and penalties vary by country. Check the national implementation where you trade.

1. Do you offer products or services to consumers located in the EU?

"Consumers" means individuals buying outside their trade or profession. Where your business is based does not matter — selling into the EU is what counts.

Yes No — we sell only to businesses, or only outside the EU

2. Which of these describes what you offer? (tick all that apply)

These are the categories the EAA covers.

E-commerce — selling goods or services to consumers through a website or app Consumer banking, payments or credit services E-books or dedicated e-book software Electronic communications services (voice, messaging, internet access) Audiovisual media services or the apps and portals that access them Passenger transport — air, bus, rail or waterborne — including booking, ticketing and travel information Covered hardware — computers, smartphones, e-readers, ATMs, ticketing or check-in machines, TV equipment None of these

3. How many people does your business employ? Fewer than 10 10 or more

4. What is your annual turnover, or your balance sheet total? €2 million or less More than €2 million

5. Is your business established inside the EU? Yes No — we are outside the EU but sell into it

6. Do you currently publish an accessibility statement? Yes, and it is dated and lists known issues Yes, but it is generic or undated No

If you need to assess a site properly

Scanners find the machine-checkable failures. The rest — keyboard operation, screen reader behaviour, focus management, status messages, contrast over images — needs a person following a method.

Conformant is that method written down: 61 test procedures covering all 55 WCAG 2.2 Level A/AA criteria plus the EN 301 549 clauses that go beyond WCAG, with a self-scoring workbook and every client-facing document you need. See what is in the kit →

Or read a worked example — a real audit of a major retailer, including the four false findings the automated pass produced.
