Is your site in scope for the EAA?
Enter any public URL for an instant EAA relevance assessment — site type, likely scope, top accessibility risks, and your recommended next step. No scan, no sign-up.
How it works
Enter a URL
Paste any public website address — we fetch the page source to detect platform, site type, and language signals.
We assess EAA scope
Our model identifies whether the site type falls under the EAA's Annex I categories and flags the most likely accessibility risks.

A free 5-page scan gives you actual WCAG failures with evidence, affected selectors, and a prioritised fix list.
How EAA scope works
The European Accessibility Act covers a specific list of digital products and services. The risk check above predicts which bucket your site falls into — these answers cover the deeper questions once you have a result.
Which sites are in scope under the EAA?
Annex I of the directive lists the in-scope categories: e-commerce websites and apps, banking and payment services, transport (booking, ticketing, real-time travel info), e-books and reading software, audiovisual media access services, electronic communications, and emergency services. Your business model usually decides scope — a corporate brochure site is rarely in scope; an online store almost always is.
What does “High” vs “Medium” relevance mean?
High means the site type appears directly in EAA Annex I (e-commerce, banking, transport, etc.) and B2C use is the default. Medium means the site is adjacent to in-scope categories or has clear B2C touchpoints but isn’t guaranteed in scope. Low means the site is most likely B2B-only or non-commercial and unlikely to be reached by the EAA. Unclear means we don’t have enough page signals to classify confidently — book a manual review or pick the conservative path.
Are there exemptions for small businesses?
Microenterprises providing services — fewer than ten employees AND under 2 million € annual revenue — are exempt from the services side of the EAA. Microenterprises providing products are not exempt. Many EU member states have additional national exemptions, transitional periods, or grace periods baked into their transposition (BFSG, RGAA, Ley 11/2023, Legea 232/2022).
What happens if my site is in scope and not compliant?
The directive sets the floor; member states decide the enforcement teeth. Penalties range from formal complaints and remediation orders through to fines. Germany’s BFSG has fines up to 100,000 €. France’s RGAA Article 47 carries fines up to 50,000 € and a public “hall of shame”. EU Commission has been escalating non-transposition cases against member states throughout 2026 — enforcement will intensify.
Why doesn’t this tool also run a WCAG scan?
Two different jobs. Scope assessment (“is this site even covered?”) is a five-second classification. WCAG scanning (“what specifically fails?”) needs a real Chromium browser, axe-core, and 30+ seconds per page. Run the EAA Risk Check first to know whether you need a WCAG audit at all. If you do, our free scan covers up to 5 pages within 24 hours — and the paid audit at 399 € covers 15 with full remediation roadmap.
What signals does the risk check actually look at?
Page source, declared language, basic platform fingerprints (CMS hints, payment-flow detection, structured data types), and content keywords. We don’t crawl beyond the supplied URL, we don’t fetch user data, and we don’t store the URL after delivering your result. Read our data handling page for the full posture.
Can I use this tool to qualify clients for an audit?
That’s exactly what most agencies use it for. Send the link in your discovery email. Have the client run their own URL. Use the result as the talking point for your audit pitch — “your site lands in High relevance under EAA scope, here’s the price-list for getting compliant.” If you’re running this often, ask us about a co-branded version of the tool for your agency.
Directive 2019/882 in plain language: timeline, technical standard (EN 301 549), and what an EU agency’s deliverable actually has to look like.
Germany BFSG, France RGAA, Spain Ley 11/2023, Romania Legea 232/2022, plus the EAA itself. Each page covers what local enforcement actually looks like.
The EAA Risk Check is an automated assessment tool. Results are based on publicly available page signals and general knowledge of the European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882). They are not legal advice, do not constitute a WCAG conformance evaluation, and should not be relied upon for compliance decisions without a professional accessibility audit. Scope determinations under the EAA require professional legal and technical assessment. How we handle your data.
