Enforcement: what's happening now

OSAPS, created specifically for the EAA and operational since 30 June 2025, may carry out targeted and unannounced inspections, request proof of conformity, and temporarily ban or restrict non-compliant services or products. The high criminal fines are imposed by the courts, not by OSAPS itself. As of mid-2026 no publicly known fine case yet, the current phase is guidance, published handbooks and first inspections.

The official SIP 2022-2024 monitoring report (second under the EU directive) and the Observatoire de l'accessibilite numerique launched 2 February 2025 consolidate over 550 audits since 2021; public-sector conformity rose steadily (44% in 2021 to 66% in 2025), while sites below 50% remain classed as not accessible.

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.
