This Directive requires a wide range of products and services - including payment terminals and banking services - to be accessible to people with disabilities.
The directive applies to all products placed on the EU market after the 28th June 2025, including both hardware and software.
A compliance and enforcement mechanism will be in place, with possible penalties, including fines, for non-compliance.
