European Accessibility Act API

Use the EAA profile to attach a versioned technical mapping and declared service context to supported assets. The API helps route findings and preserve corrective-action evidence; it does not decide scope, exceptions, or legal conformity.

Context: Customer-declared jurisdiction and service
Mapping: Directive (EU) 2019/882 technical profile
Boundary: No automatic applicability or conformity decision

Attach an EAA technical preflight to the service architecture.

A route-specific request can identify the digital asset and workflow without asking the API to infer legal scope.

Service applicability

Declared by the organization

Keep technical preflight separate from the legal conclusion.

The API is designed to preserve this boundary in both the request and the returned evidence.

The API can support

Versioned technical requirement mappings
Web and document findings with source evidence
Corrective-action status and scan history
Declared context attached to the record

Qualified review still determines

Whether the Act applies to the service
Exceptions and disproportionate-burden questions
National enforcement and transition details
Complete conformity and organizational obligations

Build an evidence record that survives corrective action.

Each rescan can stay connected to the service, profile version, source hash, finding history, and unresolved human work.

Service: Customer-owned external ID and category
Profile: eu-eaa-preflight@2026.3
Mapping: Versioned technical requirement references
History: New, recurring, resolved, or suppressed
Evidence: Source locator, observed state, scan time
Unresolved: Manual and legal-review queue

Inspect the policy behind the API profile.

Before European Accessibility Act becomes a production gate, review its source mapping, supported input, automation boundary, and required human checks.

Read the European Accessibility Act profile Directive (EU) 2019/882

Put the European Accessibility Act API in the path you already own.

Start with one asset flow, pin the profile, and keep evidence and unresolved human work attached to every result.

Automated preflight is not an accessibility certification or legal determination.
