Risks and Penalties of Being Inaccessible
While most companies focus solely on making their UX/UI EAA-compliant, accessibility goes far beyond just the web. PDF documents, forms and digital communications are equally in scope under the European Accessibility Act.
-
Ensuring your PDFs are ISO 14289 compliant, you’re eliminating the risk of financial penaltie. It ranges from €5,000 to €600,000+ for initial violations and up to €1,000 per day for ongoing non-compliance.
Affected Industries
Every industry should be aware. But some sectors are under greater pressure, especially those providing essential, everyday services.
Banking, financial services and insurance companies should be particularly aware of the EAA., as they handle a massive volume of communications. Much of it is in PDF format and should meet accessibility standards.
Why Making PDFs Accessible Matters Now More Than Ever?
In sectors like utility, banking and insurance, PDFs are everywhere: from account statements and contracts to onboarding forms and claims documents. They’re the primary way we communicate with customers. If those documents are not accessible, the company is not compliant.
When accessibility issues are found late, companies are forced into costly remediation:
-
Hiring external vendors for service ‘here and now’. This leads to even higher expenses.
-
Converting thousands of legacy PDFs under tight deadlines, which could cause management silos
These last-minute fixes cost more and deliver less than proactive planning.
