Frequently asked questions
Sweden: how high are the fines?
Violations can be fined up to €890,000, enforced by Konsumentverket / DIGG.
When do the rules apply?
The accessibility requirements apply across the EU from 28 June 2025.
Does the EAA apply to my website?
The EAA covers specific sectors — e-commerce, consumer banking, e-books, electronic communications, audiovisual media, passenger transport and self-service terminals — not every website; a purely informational or promotional site may fall outside its scope. If you sell goods or services to consumers online, you are typically covered. Micro-enterprises providing services are exempt — fewer than 10 employees and, at the same time, an annual turnover or balance-sheet total of at most €2 million (both conditions must be met). The exemption covers services only, not products.
