Accessibility law in Lithuania: are you provably compliant?

Lithuania has a distinctive self-reporting duty: service providers must report non-conformity to the regulator VVTAT without delay, within 5 working days at the latest. The fine bands are modest (up to €15,000), but a ban on supplying a non-conforming service hits revenue directly.

  • Law: Law on Accessibility Requirements for Products and Services No XIV-1633. EAA transposition
  • In force: Act of December 2022, a few months past the EU deadline; applicable since 28 June 2025.
  • Standard: WCAG 2.1 AA / EN 301 549

Enforcement: what's happening now

Supervision is split across four authorities, with the consumer protection service VVTAT as lead regulator (e-commerce among others), alongside the transport safety administration, communications regulator RRT and media regulator LRTK. As of mid-2026 VVTAT is firmly in an advisory phase (guidance, advising businesses); no publicly confirmed EAA fine yet. The statutory toolkit, fines, supply bans, binding instructions, exists and is ready for use.

Lithuania transposed the EAA (oversight bodies include ANTA, the Disability Rights Protection Agency). The State Digital Solutions Agency (VSSA, formerly IVPK) runs accessibility evaluations of public websites/apps under the Web Accessibility Directive (in 2023, e.g. 131 sites via the simplified method plus 17 e-service portals and 10 mobile apps via the in-depth method), issuing remediation orders for identified shortcomings. NO solid WCAG/accessibility-specific non-compliance percentage is publicly available; the figures that do circulate (e.g. 89%/70%/68% across 1,017 sites) concern GENERAL website requirements, not digital accessibility, and are therefore not usable as an accessibility statistic.

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.
