The EAA in Denmark
Denmark has written the European Accessibility Act into national law; its enforcing authority is named and operational, currently in a guidance and monitoring phase.
Penalties
What non-compliance can cost in Denmark
The maximum reported penalty in Denmark is No fixed statutory maximum — fines only, assessed case by case; no statutory ceiling. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
The absence of a fixed ceiling means exposure scales with the severity and reach of the breach.
Cure period
Sikkerhedsstyrelsen issues compliance orders before fines.
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Denmark is in scope, including companies based outside the EU. Micro-enterprises are exempt for services only. See the full scope and exemptions on the overview.
