As we approach the beginning of the 12 month countdown, businesses across Europe are gearing up for a significant change in accessibility standards with the implementation of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). This landmark legislation aims to create a more inclusive society by ensuring that products and services are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. For companies, understanding and preparing for the implications of the EAA is crucial to remain compliant and uphold their commitment to accessibility. At Kooba, we recognise the importance of this transition and are dedicated to helping businesses navigate the complexities of the EAA.
Why the European Accessibility Act Matters:
The EAA represents a major step forward in promoting accessibility and inclusion. By harmonising accessibility requirements across the European Union, the act will make it easier for people with disabilities to fully participate in society. From websites and mobile applications to electronic devices and transportation services, the EAA covers a wide range of products and services, leaving no stone unturned in its quest for accessibility.
Preparing for Compliance:
With the deadline for compliance drawing near, companies must take proactive steps to ensure that their products and services meet the requirements outlined in the EAA. This includes conducting accessibility audits, implementing necessary changes to digital platforms, and ensuring that physical infrastructure is barrier-free. While the task may seem daunting, partnering with experienced agencies like Kooba can streamline the process and provide expert guidance every step of the way.
