1. Scope & Applicability

Determine whether and how the European Accessibility Act applies to your organisation.

1.1 Organisational Assessment

S1 EAA applicability assessedA

You have determined whether your organisation falls within the scope of the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882).

S2 Products and services in scope identifiedA

You have mapped which of your products and services fall within the EAA's covered categories: e-commerce, banking, telecommunications, transport, e-books, or computing hardware.

S3 Micro-enterprise exemption assessedA

You have determined whether the micro-enterprise exemption applies (fewer than 10 employees AND turnover under €2 million). Note: this exemption only applies to service providers, not product manufacturers.

1.2 Market Assessment

S4 EU markets identifiedA

You have identified which EU member states you serve, as each country has its own enforcement authority and penalty framework.

S5 National transposition laws mappedAA

You have identified the relevant national laws implementing the EAA in each member state where you operate (e.g., BFSG in Germany, digipalvelulaki in Finland, DOS-lagen in Sweden).

1.3 Scope Definition

S6 B2B vs B2C classification assessedA

You have assessed which of your products and services are consumer-facing (B2C) and therefore subject to the EAA. Pure B2B services are generally outside scope.

S7 Disproportionate burden assessment documentedAA

If applicable, you have conducted and documented a disproportionate burden assessment (Article 14) for any requirements that would fundamentally alter your product or service.

What is an EAA compliance checklist?

An EAA compliance checklist is a structured assessment tool for organisations subject to the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882). Unlike a WCAG checklist that focuses on technical success criteria, this tool covers the organisational steps required to demonstrate EAA conformity: determining scope, meeting technical requirements, maintaining documentation, and establishing ongoing monitoring and operational processes.

How to use this checklist

Work through each category: start with Scope & Applicability to determine if and how the EAA affects your organisation, then assess your Technical Requirements, review your Documentation & Compliance status, and finally evaluate your Monitoring & Operations processes. Mark each requirement as met, not met, or not assessed.

This checklist is designed for cross-functional use. Legal teams can assess scope and documentation. IT teams can evaluate technical requirements and monitoring. Communications teams can review the accessibility statement and user feedback mechanisms. Share the URL to collaborate across teams, or export a PDF for your compliance records.

EAA compliance and WCAG

The EAA references the harmonised standard EN 301 549, which incorporates WCAG 2.1 Level AA for web content. The Technical Requirements section of this checklist covers the high-level WCAG compliance status. For a detailed criterion-by-criterion assessment, use the WCAG 2.1 compliance checklist. For automated scanning, see Askem Quality Assurance.

Most organisations need both checklists: this one for organisational compliance, and the WCAG checklist for technical compliance. Together they cover what the EAA requires. For a detailed guide to the EAA itself, see Website Accessibility Law — EU and UK Guide.
