Accessibility for your industry
Each industry has its critical journeys and obligations. Here is what the EAA means concretely for yours.
E-commerce
Online retail is explicitly covered by the European Accessibility Act. An inaccessible checkout shuts out customers and creates legal exposure.
Banking and finance
Consumer banking services are named in the EAA. Accounts, payments and apps must be usable by everyone.
Public sector
Public bodies have been subject for several years to accessibility obligations from directive 2016/2102.
SaaS and software
A SaaS app aimed at European customers benefits from being accessible, both for compliance and to win public sector and enterprise deals.
Healthcare
Online healthcare services reach a broad audience, including many people with disabilities or older people. Accessibility is essential there.
Tourism and hospitality
Travel booking and certain tourism services fall within the EAA scope. An accessible booking journey captures a wider customer base.
Media and publishing
E-books and many media services are covered by the EAA. Captions, structure and accessible formats are at the heart of the topic.
Telecommunications
Electronic communication services are named in the EAA, from customer areas to emergency services.
Transport
Online ticketing and passenger information fall within the EAA scope for passenger transport.
Education and training
Online learning platforms and educational content must be accessible to all learners.
