EAA and EN 301 549 v4.1: what actually changes for digital accessibility in Europe
June 2025. European Accessibility Act in force for new products.
The most common question isn't "what do we need to do?" — it's "who's actually enforcing this?"
That's the wrong question. The EAA isn't just external enforcement: it's a structural shift in how digital products are bought and evaluated. EN 301 549 v4.1 is the technical standard that turns that law into measurable criteria.
➡️ W3C ACT Rules
Official W3C framework for consistent, reproducible accessibility testing. Each rule maps to WCAG criteria. Essential for audit methodologies aligned with EN 301 549 v4.1.
