Time to Act

Organizations placing products on the EU market must demonstrate EN 301 549 conformance now. Waiting until 2030 puts your market access, procurement opportunities, and brand reputation at significant risk.

Companies across Europe are already facing enforcement — and the costs go far beyond fines.
Financial Penalties Fines up to €100,000+ or 4% of annual turnover (varies by member state). Repeat violations can result in escalating penalties.	Market Access Restrictions Non-compliant products cannot be legally placed on EU market. Existing products may be ordered withdrawn or recalled.	Procurement Exclusion Public sector and many private organizations require EN 301 549 conformance. Non-compliance disqualifies you from tenders.

Legal Liability Fines up to €100,000+ or 4% of annual turnover (varies by member state). Repeat violations can result in escalating penalties.	Reputational Damage Brand trust erosion, negative press coverage, and social media backlash. Customer loyalty and investor confidence at risk.	Remediation Costs Companies acting under enforcement pressure are paying 3–5× what they would have paid with a planned approach. The longer you wait, the more it costs.

Critical Note: Penalties Vary by Member State Each EU member state enforces the EAA through national legislation with specific penalty structures. Organizations operating across multiple markets face compounding risks. Early compliance is the only sustainable strategy.

Reduce risk and strengthen compliance

Know exactly where you stand — before a regulator tells you. Get documented evidence of compliance effort that holds up in enforcement proceedings.
Improve user experience and inclusivity

Build products that work for all 450 million EU consumers — not just the ones without disabilities. Accessible design improves usability, conversion, and loyalty for everyone.
Increase market access and procurement readiness
