Enforcement: what's happening now

Regulator AgID adopted the concrete sanctions framework via Determinazione 84/2026 (May 2026). Enforcement is young but real.

Italy enforces digital accessibility through the Stanca Act (Law 4/2004), with AgID as supervisor. Since 28 June 2025, Legislative Decree 82/2022 (EAA transposition) extends the accessibility obligation to all economic operators offering B2C digital services above 10 employees and EUR 2 million turnover (incl. e-commerce). For persistent non-compliance AgID may impose an administrative penalty of up to 5% of annual turnover.

Cross-border trade

Selling to here from abroad?

The European Accessibility Act is market-based: if you sell products or services to consumers in this country, it applies to you, even if your business is established outside the EU.

Why this matters

Accessibility isn't a checkbox for a regulator, it decides whether roughly 1 in 6 people (WHO) can use your site at all. For them, an inaccessible store isn't a minor annoyance but a closed door. Fix the error in your own code and you remove that barrier and make your site cleaner for search engines, the same fix, double the gain.

Know where you stand, before the regulator does.
