The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has many different administrative obligations and technical requirements. So much so that it’s difficult to keep everything straight. To make compliance much easier, we’ve created the EAA App to streamline becoming compliant and maintaining that compliance.
There was no software, platform, system or anything currently on the market that is customized to EAA compliance. But now there is.
What is the EAA App?
The EAA App is our compliance platform designed specifically for companies covered by the European Accessibility Act.
Key Features That Simplify Compliance
1. Role-Based Setup
The platform begins by identifying your role in the supply chain:
- Manufacturer
- Importer
- Distributor
- Service Provider
This initial classification ensures you receive customized guidance relevant to your specific obligations under the EAA. The platform even supports multiple roles, recognizing that many businesses operate in various capacities.
2. Asset Management
Creating and tracking assets is straightforward. Users can:
- Name their assets (e.g., “kiosk”)
- Select appropriate categories (e.g., “payment terminals”)
- Generate customized compliance checklists for each asset
3. Dual Checklist System
The platform separates compliance into two clear areas:
Obligations Checklist: Covers administrative compliance requirements Technical Requirements: Focuses on actual accessibility implementations
Each checklist item includes:
- Official EAA directive text
- Plain English explanations
- Sub-checklists for detailed task management
- Note-taking capabilities for team collaboration
- Document upload functionality
4. Documentation Hub
Compliance documentation often becomes scattered across different departments and systems. The EAA App centralizes this with:
- 1GB of included storage (expandable as needed)
- Support for various file types, including videos
- Organization by economic operator role
- Easy access to all compliance-related documents
5. AI-Powered Assistance
Built-in AI chat functionality provides:
- Context-specific help for individual checklist items
- General guidance on EAA directive interpretation
- On-demand support without leaving the platform
6. Compliance Scoring and Tracking
Visual progress tracking includes:
- Overall compliance percentage scores
- Asset-specific breakdown
- Category analysis
- Real-time updates as tasks are completed
7. Supply Chain Database
In accordance with Article 12 of the EAA directive, the platform also helps economic operators maintain required records of:
- Suppliers who have provided products
- Customers to whom products have been supplied
This feature ensures organizations can quickly respond to market surveillance authority requests.
Team Collaboration Features
The EAA App recognizes that compliance is a team effort:
- Add multiple team members to your account
- Assign read-only or edit permissions
- Share notes and documentation
- Track progress across departments
Why This Matters
The European Accessibility Act represents a significant shift in how businesses must approach accessibility. With enforcement beginning in 2025, organizations need efficient tools to:
- Understand their specific obligations
- Track compliance progress
- Maintain required documentation
- Respond to regulatory inquiries
The EAA App transforms what could be an overwhelming process into a manageable, systematic approach.
Summary
The European Accessibility Act requires significant effort, but we have made compliance as simple and as easy as possible by streamlining all obligations, requirements, and documentation inside our brand new EAA App. This platform is designed to be practical and easy to use so that your team saves hours of time and crucially has all of compliance taken care of.
