EAA accessibility readiness
EAA Ecommerce Accessibility Checklist
Plan an ecommerce accessibility review across product discovery, product pages, forms, checkout, support, and evidence.
Direct answerCombine automated page checks with keyboard, screen-reader, zoom, error-recovery, and end-to-end purchase testing.
What this page is for
Accessibility signals inside the same evidence workflow.
EU-facing online stores preparing an accessibility improvement backlog.
A scan of one public page cannot establish that the complete ecommerce service or checkout journey is accessible.
This is a compliance workflow, risk discovery, and evidence management tool. It is not legal advice, not a legal certification, and manual review is required.
What the workspace generates
Open beta report outputs
- Page language and image alt text signals
- Optional EAA worker accessibility scan when configured
- Accessibility summary inside the product evidence pack
- Developer-friendly issue notes for manual review
- Review reminders and exportable audit trail
- Combined product compliance and accessibility workspace output

FAQ
Questions about this readiness workflow
Is the EAA Ecommerce Accessibility Checklist an accessibility certification?
No. It provides readiness signals and an evidence workflow. Conformance claims require an appropriately scoped evaluation, manual testing, and accountable professional review.
Why are manual accessibility tests still required?
Automated tools detect only part of the problem space and cannot fully assess task completion, content meaning, assistive-technology behavior, or the complete customer journey.
