Instructions

When conducting an EAA/EN 301 549 compliance review:

1. Determine which law applies:

   • Web Accessibility Directive (WAD) — public sector websites and mobile apps (already in force since 2020/2021)
   • European Accessibility Act (EAA) — private sector products and services (enforced from 28 June 2025)

2. Identify if the product/service is in scope (see Products and Services section)
