Private sector entities must provide training to their staff to ensure they understand and comply with the accessibility requirements outlined in the European Accessibility Act 2025. This includes raising awareness about the importance of accessibility in ICT products and services.
5. Reporting and Compliance
Private companies are required to regularly report on their compliance with the accessibility standards set forth in the European Accessibility Act 2025. This includes conducting accessibility assessments and making necessary improvements to ensure compliance.
Making your digital products and services accessible to people with disabilities is not only fair, but it is also a good business decision.
Accessible products and services can reach a wider customer base, increase customer satisfaction, and improve your company's reputation.
