The European Accessibility Act, country by country
The European Accessibility Act is an EU directive, but each country implements and enforces it through its own national law. These guides summarise what is publicly known about scope, responsible authorities, and timelines in each market. Where a detail has no reliable public source, we say so rather than guess. Nothing here is legal advice, and an automated Clearpath scan reports WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility risk — it does not determine whether your business is legally in scope or compliant.
