How much can my company be fined under EAA?
EAA carries penalties of up to Per member state. This page breaks down every fine tier by article, explains who is at risk, and shows live enforcement examples.
How EAA penalties work
The European Accessibility Act (Article 29) requires Member States to establish effective, proportionate, and dissuasive penalties for non-compliance. Penalties must take into account the extent and duration of non-compliance. Member States have significant discretion in setting specific fine amounts.

What are the EAA penalties?
EAA penalties are set by Member States and must be effective, proportionate, and dissuasive. The Directive does not set EU-wide fine ceilings. Penalties vary significantly between Member States — some have set specific fine ranges in national transposition legislation.
When did EAA obligations start?
Most EAA product and service accessibility obligations applied from 28 June 2025. Microenterprises providing services are exempt. Products and services already on the market before 28 June 2025 have transition periods.
