If your digital offerings are not accessible, people with disabilities are systematically excluded and disadvantaged.
Digitale Barrierefreiheit in Unternehmen
Stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Menschen, unabhängig von ihren Fähigkeiten, den gleichen Zugang zu Ihren Produkten, Dienstleistungen und Informationen haben.

Digitale Barrierefreiheit in gemeinnützigen Organisationen
Ihre gemeinnützige Organisation engagiert sich für soziale, kulturelle oder ökologische Belange und hat das Gemeinwohl zu ihrer Mission gemacht. Dies sollte sich in allen Aspekten widerspiegeln.

Digitale Barrierefreiheit in der Bildung
Ihr Bildungsangebot ist ein Schlüssel zur sozialen Integration und Chancengleichheit und somit ein grundlegendes Menschenrecht, wie es in der Charta der Vielfalt betont wird.

Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Bildungsangebote für alle zugänglich bleiben, und fördern Sie Vielfalt und Inklusion in unserer Gesellschaft.
Digitale Barrierefreiheit im Gesundheitswesen
Es ist wichtig, dass Ihre Einrichtung wichtige Informationen und Dienste online auf zugängliche Weise anbietet.

FAQs
These FAQs should help clarify common inquiries regarding web accessibility and the EAA, providing both quick references and deeper insights into each question.
What is the European Accessibility Act?
The European Accessibility Act is an EU directive that requires key products and services to be accessible to people with disabilities.
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is legislation passed by the European Union to ensure that essential products and services are designed to be accessible to individuals with disabilities, including digital technologies like e-commerce sites and mobile apps. It aims to harmonize accessibility standards across EU countries, making it easier for businesses and benefiting persons with disabilities by providing them greater access to various services.
Who benefits from the European Accessibility Act?
The EAA benefits individuals with disabilities, the elderly, and anyone facing temporary impairments.
The European Accessibility Act is designed to assist not only the permanently disabled but also the elderly and those with temporary impairments, such as injuries. By making products and services more accessible, the Act supports a broader inclusion, allowing these individuals to participate fully in society and the economy.
What does web accessibility mean under the European Accessibility Act?
Web accessibility under the EAA means websites and mobile apps must be usable by everyone, including those with disabilities.
Under the European Accessibility Act, web accessibility refers to the requirement that websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies and businesses must be designed and developed so people with disabilities can use them as effectively as individuals without disabilities. This includes providing text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring that navigation is possible using a keyboard, and making sure websites can be used with assistive technologies.
What are the penalties for non-compliance with the European Accessibility Act?
Penalties vary by EU member state but may include fines and mandatory corrections.
While the European Accessibility Act sets the framework, penalties for non-compliance are determined by individual EU member states. These can include administrative fines, orders to make the inaccessible services compliant, and other legal measures. Companies are advised to check the specific transposition of the EAA into national law in their respective countries.
How can businesses prepare for the European Accessibility Act?
Businesses can prepare by auditing their current products and services for accessibility and updating them accordingly.
Businesses should start by conducting thorough accessibility audits of their products and services to identify potential barriers for people with disabilities. Following this, they should implement the necessary changes to improve accessibility, such as enhancing the visual and auditory usability of digital platforms. Keeping abreast of national regulations implementing the EAA will also be crucial.
Are there any exemptions to the European Accessibility Act?
Yes, microenterprises providing services are exempt, among other specific exceptions.
The European Accessibility Act does provide exemptions for microenterprises, defined as companies with fewer than 10 employees, from some of its requirements. However, these businesses are still encouraged to follow accessibility guidelines voluntarily. Member states may also offer additional exemptions based on specific criteria such as the type of service provided.
What web accessibility standards should be followed under the EAA?
The EAA aligns with existing standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Although the European Accessibility Act does not prescribe specific technical solutions, it generally aligns with widely recognized web accessibility standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1. These guidelines outline how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities. Compliance with these guidelines will help businesses meet EAA requirements.
