What changed

The 12 May 2026 official source check confirmed the EAA page lists covered products and services such as computers, smartphones, banking, e-books, e-commerce, and passenger transport service elements.

Why it matters for teams

E-commerce, web, product, customer journey, and accessibility owners should use this as an early evidence and owner-readiness prompt before making public claims or sending sensitive material.

First practical question

Which checkout, account, booking, support, or content-access journey is in scope?

Checklist starter

Identify covered service or product category.
Map the full customer journey, not only the homepage.
Collect current accessibility statement, known blockers, and support routes.
Separate WCAG-style technical issues from service-scope and national-implementation questions.
Prepare a remediation owner map before publishing accessibility claims.
