EAA Fines in Luxembourg
The European Accessibility Act (Directive 2019/882) has been in force since 28 June 2025. Luxembourg has transposed it into national law with the fine and enforcement structure summarised below.
Fine range
Administrative (OSAPS): €250–€15,000 for procedural violations (e.g. obstruction of market surveillance). Criminal (courts): €251–€500,000 for substantive accessibility violations; €500,000–€1,000,000 for repeat offences. Non-compliant products/services may be banned from the Luxembourg market.

What to do this quarter
Concrete next steps for Luxembourg businesses, in the order that minimises legal exposure fastest.
- Run a baseline WCAG 2.1 AA scan. You can't fix what you can't see, and most enforcement actions target the same handful of failures (contrast, alt text, form labels, keyboard navigation).
- Publish an accessibility statement. This is a separate EAA obligation under EN 301 549 — every consumer- facing site needs one, and several countries (notably France) attach a separate fine for missing it. Free generator →
- Identify your highest-risk surfaces first. If you sell anything online, your checkout matters more than your blog. Prioritise the user journeys that produce revenue.
- Document remediation. The fine ranges above describe maximum statutory penalties. In practice, regulators across the EU look at good-faith effort and a clear remediation plan when deciding what to actually impose.
