The EAA Compliance Gap

The European Accessibility Act is now enforced. Every digital product serving EU customers must comply with EN 301 549 — a standard that goes beyond WCAG.

Most accessibility tools target US WCAG compliance only. The EAA has different requirements, different reporting needs, and different conformity assessment processes.

This API specifically targets EAA compliance while also covering WCAG 2.2, giving you complete accessibility coverage with one integration.

Companion GitHub Action

We provide a free GitHub Action that integrates accessibility scanning into your CI/CD pipeline. Catch issues before they reach production:

- uses: zexta-products/a11y-scan@v1
  with:
    url: ${{ env.PREVIEW_URL }}
    standard: eaa
    fail-on-critical: true

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between EAA and WCAG?
WCAG is a set of web accessibility guidelines. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is law that references EN 301 549, which goes beyond WCAG. Our API tests against both.
Do you offer a GitHub Action?
Yes. A free companion GitHub Action scans your site on every deploy and fails the build if critical issues are found. The API provides the detailed reports.
How accurate are the automated scans?
Automated scanning catches ~50-60% of accessibility issues. We clearly mark which issues are confirmed vs. need manual review.
When does the EAA take effect?
The EAA enforcement began June 28, 2025. All digital products and services in the EU must comply.
