Knowledge base
The European Accessibility Act, explained
Who the law applies to, which of the six Dutch regulators enforces it, and what it actually requires. Written in English rather than translated, because the Dutch edition answers Dutch questions.
The Dutch knowledge base is larger and covers more ground.
Who it applies to
Does the European Accessibility Act apply to my website?
The EAA has applied since 28 June 2025, but it does not cover every website. Check whether it covers yours, and understand the micro-enterprise exemption that is often quoted incorrectly.
Myths and misunderstandings
What the EAA actually requires: an accessible service, not a statement
The European Accessibility Act does not require an audit and does not ask for a statement in the Dutch register. It requires an accessible service. Here is what that means in practice, and where the confusion comes from.
Enforcement
Who enforces the European Accessibility Act in the Netherlands?
Six Dutch regulators share enforcement of the EAA, each for its own type of product or service. Which one is yours, what they actually do, and why the number seven keeps circulating.
