Are you ready for the European Accessibility Act Enforcement in 2025?
summary
June 28, 2025 is the enforcement date and compliance requires following the EAA → EN 301 549 → WCAG 2.2 level AA chain; in France the RGAA adds legal force and a penalty of €20,000 per service and applies to public bodies and private firms with >€250M revenue. Practical work is concrete: remove Android orientation locks and enable all iOS orientations, support text scaling to 200% (use sp / Dynamic Type), fix color contrast, and add accessibility labels/contentDescription across localized strings.
