What changed on 28 June 2025?
Directive (EU) 2019/882 sets accessibility requirements for certain products and services, including consumer e-commerce services. Not every website automatically falls within its scope.
The microenterprise services exemption
Microenterprises providing services are exempt from the accessibility requirements of the directive. They employ fewer than 10 people and have annual turnover or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding €2 million. This exemption concerns services, not all products or every other legal obligation.
