Automated scanners detect between 25% and 30% of WCAG issues. Overlays don't generate legal documentation. EAA-Report is a guided self-assessment of 17 WCAG 2.1 AA criteria that produces the complete report and Accessibility Declaration the regulation demands — in 15 minutes per website. Your agency can offer it as an added service to every client.
Directive (EU) 2019/882 requires digital service providers to meet WCAG 2.1 AA and maintain a documented Accessibility Declaration. Your clients with e-commerce, service platforms or digital content need that report. And they'll turn to their web agency to get it.
If your agency doesn't offer this service, another will. Or worse: the client will install an overlay believing it's enough, and when an inspection comes, they'll discover they have no valid documentation. EAA-Report lets you be the agency that actually solves the problem.
Article 2.2 of the Directive defines the covered services. If your agency works with any of these sectors, your clients need the report:
Any client with an online store selling to EU consumers. Article 2.2(f) covers 'services provided at a distance, by electronic means, for the purpose of concluding a contract.' This includes Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or custom builds.
Clients with payment platforms, gateways or digital financial services. Article 2.2(d) covers consumer banking services: consumer credit, payment services, payment accounts and electronic money.
Clients with streaming platforms, podcasts or on-demand audiovisual content. Article 2.2(b) covers access to audiovisual media services.
Clients with any digital platform providing services to European consumers. Article 2.2(a) covers electronic communications and Article 2.2(f) is broad enough to include virtually any consumer-facing digital service.
Results of the guided self-assessment of 17 WCAG criteria. Each criterion with its status: conformant, non-conformant, or not applicable. Your agency completes the assessment knowing the client's site.
Structured document per Article 13.2 of Directive (EU) 2019/882. Ready for the client to publish. Includes service identification, date, conformity status and contact details.
Ready-to-paste HTML code for the client's website. Your development team integrates it in minutes. Includes the Declaration link and compliance text.
Country-specific risk assessment. Identifies applicable penalties in the client's jurisdiction. An additional deliverable that reinforces the value of your agency's service.
List of corrective actions ordered by impact. Your technical team can use this as a roadmap for fixes. Each action linked to the non-conformant WCAG criterion.

Automated accessibility scanners detect between 25% and 30% of WCAG issues. They don't evaluate criteria requiring human judgement — such as keyboard navigation, semantic structure, or content comprehensibility. And they don't generate the Accessibility Declaration required by Article 13.2 of Directive (EU) 2019/882.
Accessibility overlays don't fix source code, don't generate legal documentation, and don't constitute valid evidence before a market surveillance authority. Recommending an overlay to a client exposes them to a penalty without supporting documentation.
If your agency doesn't offer the accessibility report, the client will look elsewhere. Or worse, they'll do nothing until an inspection arrives. Offering the report proactively positions your agency as a strategic partner, not just a technical provider.
Each EU Member State has transposed Directive (EU) 2019/882 with its own penalty regime. Your clients face these maximum penalties:
Ley 11/2023. Minor up to €30,000, serious up to €90,000, very serious up to €1,000,000.
BFSG. Per individual infringement.
Ordonnance 2023-859. Penalty for non-compliance with accessibility requirements.
D.Lgs. 82/2022. Percentage-based penalty calculated on annual revenue.
EAA-Report generates a structured document per Article 13.2 of Directive (EU) 2019/882 from the information you provide. The accuracy, precision and completeness of that information is your responsibility as the service provider.
We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 13.2 of Directive (EU) 2019/882 and that the legal references cited are correct. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a particular case or by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.
