While this may seem like a distant deadline, companies should begin preparing now to ensure compliance. The complexities of meeting the new requirements demand a proactive approach to avoid last-minute challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One important area for businesses to look into is the EAA\u2019s system for self-assessment and certification, which will allow companies to demonstrate that their products and services meet the accessibility requirements.
