From 28 June 2025 all new consumerfacing digital products and services - including videoondemand platforms, OTT streaming apps, ecommerce sites and banking software - must be accessible, while existing services have until 28 June 2030 to reach compliance.
Scope: Websites, iOS & Android apps, Smart TV and settopbox interfaces, electronic program guides, payment and signup flows
Technical baseline: WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Enforcement: National marketsurveillance bodies can fine up to 100,000 EUR, mandate rapid remediation, or order service suspension
Global relevance: Alignment with US Section 508, the UK Equality Act and other international standards futureproofs your OTT service worldwide
