Accessibility compliance FAQs — Portugal

Is my website legally required to be accessible in Portugal?
Yes. Under European Accessibility Act, digital businesses operating in Portugal 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 Portugal?
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 Portugal?
In Portugal, European Accessibility Act is applied through national EAA transposition. Our audits map every finding to both the harmonised standard and the local legal requirements.
