Why Netherlands Chooses DIGISARAL

Accessibility compliance partner in Netherlands

DIGISARAL is a specialist digital accessibility audit institution serving organizations in Netherlands. Netherlands is a highly digital market where EAA conformance is expected across e-commerce and banking. Our IAAP-certified team delivers European Accessibility Act and EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA) audits, VPATs, and remediation so businesses in Netherlands can meet their European Union accessibility obligations.

The European Accessibility Act (EAA, Directive (EU) 2019/882) applies from 28 June 2025 and requires a broad range of products and services — e-commerce, banking, e-books, transport, telecoms and more — to be accessible across the EU. Each member state transposes the EAA into national law with its own enforcement authority. The harmonized technical standard is EN 301 549, which references WCAG 2.1 AA. DIGISARAL delivers EAA and EN 301 549 audits and remediation for companies selling into the EU.

Accessibility compliance FAQs — Netherlands

Is my website legally required to be accessible in Netherlands?
Yes. Under European Accessibility Act, digital businesses operating in Netherlands must ensure their websites, mobile apps and digital services meet EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA). Non-compliance can lead to legal complaints, regulatory enforcement, and reputational risk.
Which accessibility standard applies in Netherlands?
We audit to EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA) — the recognised conformance standard for European Accessibility Act — covering the four WCAG principles: perceivable, operable, understandable and robust, across both web and mobile.
How long does an accessibility audit take?
A typical cycle is 4–6 weeks: automated scanning, manual expert testing with assistive technology (screen readers, keyboard-only, magnification), and a prioritised remediation report. Automated tools alone catch only ~25–30% of issues, so manual testing is essential for certification.
What deliverables do we receive?
A detailed audit report mapped to EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA), an accessibility conformance report (VPAT), code-level remediation guidance prioritised by severity, and an accessibility statement suitable as European Accessibility Act evidence.
What is the applicable national law in Netherlands?
In Netherlands, European Accessibility Act is applied through national EAA transposition. Our audits map every finding to both the harmonised standard and the local legal requirements.
