This is not just a blogpost 

28 June 2025 marked the official start of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) - a major milestone towards a more inclusive digital society. But let’s be honest: for many businesses, that date came and went without fireworks… or fines. Yet. 

There is no official grace period. The EAA requires compliance now. Failure to meet the standards can lead to fines, legal action, and reputational damage. 

The real question today is: Have you truly met the accessibility requirements? 
Or are you still in “good intentions” mode? 

The quiet phase is over. Audits are coming. Reputations are at stake. And accessibility is no longer a nice-to-have, it’s a legal and ethical requirement  

Before the pressure hits, take a few minutes to check where you really stand. No long reads, no legalese. Just a simple self-test that highlights your blind spots and your strengths. 

 

It’s short. It’s practical. And it’s free 
In just a few clicks, you’ll get a quick indication of your organization’s current accessibility readiness. 

This test is not exhaustive, but it’s designed to help you answer one of two questions: 

 

Are we on our way to full compliance? 
or 
Do we need to act — now?
