EAA in 60 seconds

The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) is the EU's prescriptive accessibility law that takes effect 28 June 2025, requiring covered products and services — banking, e-commerce, transport, audiovisual media, ebooks and computer hardware — to meet harmonised accessibility requirements derived from EN 301 549 and WCAG 2.1 AA.

Vue accessibility — what you are starting with

Vue's template syntax encourages semantic HTML more than React's JSX abstraction. Failures originate in custom interactive components.

Putting it together

Combine EAA's Level AA requirements with Vue's native tooling. Bake accessibility into your component library and editorial workflow; instrument axe-core in CI for regression.
