Penalties
Non-compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA) can result in substantial penalties that vary by country. These penalties are designed to be "effective, proportionate, and dissuasive," including fines, public notices, and service suspensions.
Fines range up to €500,000 in Germany, with many countries also enforcing accessibility audits and corrective actions. Repeat violations may lead to stricter measures such as business restrictions or public disclosures.
