Accessibility law in Slovenia: are you provably compliant?
Fines per case are modest, product violations up to €40,000, e-commerce services up to €5,000 and up to €10,000 for medium-sized/large companies, but the real pressure point is the remediation order with a deadline, and as a last resort removal of the product or service from the market.

Enforcement: what's happening now
Supervision split across three authorities: market inspectorate TIRS (products and e-commerce), AKOS (telecoms, audiovisual media, e-books) and Banka Slovenije (consumer banking services). TIRS has published how it tests websites, semantics, contrast, navigation and alt texts, which makes compliance predictable and plannable. As of mid-2026 no published ZDPSI fines; enforcement is in its start-up and guidance phase, though the absence of known fines does not mean there is no supervision.
In mid-2024 the IRSID inspector responsible for website and mobile-app accessibility left the inspectorate; in its 2024 annual report IRSID explicitly states it lacks the capacity to apply the full EC monitoring methodology (review against all 137 conditions). Supervision sits under the Ministry of Digital Transformation; complaints can be filed via the eUprava portal. IRSID. Poročilo o delu 2024

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.
