Accessibility
Accessibility (EAA 2025) for websites
Who the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) applies to since 28 June 2025, the microenterprise exemption, the WCAG-based standard, accessibility information and what scanners can test.
Buyer’s guide
What automated compliance scanners can and cannot check
