The EAA in Latvia
Latvia 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 Latvia
The maximum reported penalty in Latvia is ≈ €7,100 (legal entities) — set via the Law on Conformity Assessment; the accessibility law itself carries no ceiling. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
This figure is reported: it appears in industry references rather than confirmed primary legislation. Confirm against national law before relying on it.
Complaints & enforcement
How a complaint reaches a penalty in Latvia
Complaints go to the Consumer Rights Protection Centre (PTAC).
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Latvia 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 Latvia are reproduced from the sourced references on the main briefing and verified June 2026. The transposing law is Preču un pakalpojumu piekļūstamības likums (2023); 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.
