Benefits of digital accessibility

Reach a wider audience

Being fully accessible means that everyone can buy your product or use your service. This is how you contribute to an inclusive society where everyone can participate.

Higher user satisfaction

By offering accessible products and services, you improve your user' experience. This results in higher customer satisfaction and less pressure on customer service.

Code maintainability

Research shows that code bases behind an accessible application are often easier to maintain and extend. Accessible code follows best practices in web development, resulting in future-proof applications.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA)

What is the EAA?

The European Accessibility Act represents a significant milestone in EU legislation. This law ensures that digital products and services become accessible to everyone, with particular attention to people with disabilities. The goal is to create an inclusive digital society where everyone can participate equally.

Why is the EAA important?

In an increasingly digital world, accessibility is not a luxury but a necessity. The EAA ensures that essential digital services and products are accessible to all EU citizens, regardless of their physical or cognitive capabilities. This not only promotes social inclusion but also creates equal opportunities in education, employment, and daily life.

Which organizations must comply with the EAA?

The legislation applies to:

  • Government authorities and semi-governmental organizations
  • Organizations receiving more than 50% government funding
  • Companies providing services or products to the government
  • Providers of essential services, products, or financial services
  • Organizations governed by public authorities

Which services and products fall under the EAA?

The legislation covers a broad spectrum of digital services and products:

  • Banking and financial services
  • E-commerce platforms and webshops
  • Payment terminals and digital payment systems
  • Mobile devices and smartphones
  • Digital reading devices and e-books
  • Television services and digital reception equipment
  • Streaming services (such as video and music platforms)
  • Mobility equipment and transport-related services
  • Telecommunications

How to comply with the EAA?

To comply with the EAA, organizations must implement the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). This international standard provides guidelines for creating accessible digital content. A professional WCAG audit can provide insight into the current accessibility of your digital services and identify necessary improvements.

Planning and implementation

The EAA requires organizations to meet accessibility requirements by 2025. It is advisable to start analyzing and adapting your digital services early to ensure a smooth transition.

WCAG explained

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international standard for digital accessibility. These guidelines consist of 86 success criteria that give organisations concrete tools to make their digital services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. The WCAG guidelines are an essential part of the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the European legislation mandating digital accessibility. These WCAG guidelines form the foundation of all our research, training and other services.

The four principles of WCAG

WCAG is based on four principles: Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust. These principles form the basis for all our accessibility research.
