EAA readiness requires product, content, and operations alignment
Compliance efforts stall when accessibility is treated as a one-time implementation task. EAA programs need ongoing controls across user journeys, content delivery, language support, and evidence retention.
- Accessibility ownership is fragmented across legal, product, UX, and operations teams.
- Teams lack standardized QA checkpoints for multilingual and live-session experiences.
- Legacy content and event workflows are not mapped to current accessibility controls.
- Accessibility statements and internal controls drift out of sync with real implementation.
- Documentation for compliance and remediation is incomplete or difficult to retrieve.

Preguntas frecuentes
When does the EAA apply?
The European Accessibility Act generally applies from June 28, 2025, with specific obligations depending on service type and jurisdictional implementation.
Which areas are commonly included in EAA implementation planning?
Teams usually assess product UX, content accessibility, support workflows, transactional communications, and service documentation for EAA alignment.
Does EAA compliance only concern websites?
No. Teams often evaluate broader customer-facing digital experiences, including communications and service-delivery flows, not only static web pages.
What does a practical EAA rollout include?
Typical rollouts include standards definition, scope inventory, QA checklists, owner assignment, remediation workflows, accessibility statements, and evidence retention procedures.
Should we involve legal counsel?
Yes. Accessibility implementation should be reviewed with legal and accessibility experts to confirm requirements for your markets and service model.
How should teams handle ongoing compliance after launch?
Treat EAA as an operational program: monitor incidents, audit workflows regularly, update standards when products change, and preserve implementation evidence over time.
