Manual review
eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/882/oj scored 31/100 — a failing grade driven by issues that block core functionality for people with disabilities.
Across the page, automated checks flagged 9 distinct rule violations affecting 126 elements: 1 critical, 105 serious, and 20 moderate. The critical failures — certain ARIA roles must contain particular children — prevent screen-reader and keyboard users from completing key tasks.
A further 3 checks could not be evaluated automatically and require manual review, while 51 checks passed. Remediating the one critical rule and the most frequent serious issue — links must be distinguishable without relying on color — will clear the highest-impact barriers first.
Scanned against WCAG 2.0 / 2.1 success criteria at a 1366 × 900 viewport, with the results mapped to practical EN 301 549 and European Accessibility Act readiness. Automated testing detects only part of WCAG risk; pair it with manual keyboard and assistive-technology testing for full coverage.
Legal compliance risk
Since 28 June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) has applied to covered digital services across the EU market. Many organizations refer to this as the Digital Accessibility Act in procurement and compliance work. In practice, websites, apps, e-commerce, banking, transport, media and support journeys should align with EN 301 549 and WCAG AA expectations.
Non-compliance can trigger formal complaints, corrective orders, national authority investigations, financial penalties in EUR, reputational harm, contract loss, and restrictions on placing or keeping a non-conforming service in the market. This audit found 9 accessibility issues that may expose your organization to this risk and should be remediated promptly.
