The EAA in Croatia
Croatia has written the European Accessibility Act into national law and the requirements are in force. Public enforcement activity has been limited so far, and published penalty figures are still emerging.
Penalties
What non-compliance can cost in Croatia
The maximum reported penalty in Croatia is Up to €132,720 (legal entities) — tiered from €1,990; importers and distributors lower. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
Cure period
Inspectors issue written notices requiring corrective measures within a reasonable timeframe.
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Croatia 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.

Figures for Croatia are reproduced from the sourced references on the main briefing and verified June 2026. The transposing law is Zakon o zahtjevima za pristupačnost proizvoda i usluga (NN 89/2025); see the EU’s official national transposition measures for Directive (EU) 2019/882. Enforcement is evolving fast and sources conflict — this page is an educational summary, not legal advice.
