Spain transposed the EAA through two instruments
The Spanish accessibility framework stacks two layers: the public sector rules from 2018, and the new private-sector requirements from 2023. Agencies are being asked about both because clients conflate them.
Real Decreto 1112/2018
Transposes Directive 2016/2102 (the EU web accessibility directive) for websites and mobile apps of public sector bodies. Requires a declaración de accesibilidad, a user feedback mechanism, and periodic reviews. Applies to central, autonomous, and local administrations plus bodies delivering public services. Technical standard: UNE-EN 301 549.
Ley 11/2023 + Real Decreto 193/2023
Ley 11/2023 (May 8, 2023) transposes the European Accessibility Act into Spanish law. Real Decreto 193/2023 (March 21, 2023) provides the technical implementing regulations. In force for services placed on the Spanish market since June 28, 2025. Covers e-commerce, consumer banking, electronic communications, passenger transport, e-books, and related consumer digital services.
Enforcement and consumer-complaint handling runs through the national authority network coordinated by OACIAP. Fines range from 601 € to over 1 million € for the most serious infractions.
Is your site in scope?
EAA-covered private services
- E-commerce B2C sites selling products or services to consumers in Spain
- Consumer banking and payment services
- Electronic communications services (messaging, VoIP, etc.)
- Passenger transport ticketing, information, and real-time services
- E-books, reading apps, and audio-visual media services
- Emergency service communications (112)
Public sector (RD 1112/2018)
- Central, autonomous, and local public administrations
- Public universities and research institutions
- Courts, tribunals, and public prosecutors
- Entities receiving >50% public funding or control
- Private entities delivering delegated public services
Micro-enterprise exemption
- Under 10 employees AND under 2M € turnover or balance sheet
- Applies to EAA service requirements
- Does NOT exempt public-sector or delegated-service entities
- Narrowly interpreted — a 12-employee shop is already covered
Common edge cases in Spain
- Autonomous community sites — covered under RD 1112/2018
- Non-Spanish sellers shipping to Spain → covered for that Spanish-market surface
- B2B SaaS with a consumer plan → in scope for the consumer surface
- Corporate marketing sites with no transactions → typically out of EAA scope

Set Up MonitoringWhat this is, and what it is not
AccessiProof provides evidence-backed website accessibility audits for the digital-service side of Spanish accessibility law. We do not audit physical kiosks, ATMs, or consumer electronics covered by the EAA product track.
Our reports are not legal advice, not a certification, and not an official declaración de accesibilidad. The legal responsibility for publishing the declaration and for the underlying compliance remains with the covered entity and its legal counsel. We produce the evidence those documents are built from.
Where this page references UNE-EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 AA, we do so because they are the technical standards used to demonstrate conformance with Spanish accessibility requirements. They are not the only mechanism, and Spanish authorities (OACIAP and the autonomous communities) may request additional evidence depending on the service.
Build the evidence trail Spanish regulators expect
