The EAA in Poland
Poland 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 Poland
The maximum reported penalty in Poland is Up to 10× the average monthly wage, capped at 10% of annual turnover — no flat PLN 100,000 figure exists in the law. Penalties are set nationally under Article 30 of the directive, which requires them to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive.
The ≈ €25,000 / PLN 100,000 figure in some matrices is not in the law.
Cure period
A warning requiring corrective action precedes fines; fines apply only to persistent violations.
Complaints & enforcement
How a complaint reaches a penalty in Poland
Complaints go to PFRON or the relevant sector surveillance authority.
Scope
Who must comply
The obligations are the same EU-wide: any business placing covered products or providing covered services to consumers in Poland 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.
