The new Act on Accessibility Requirements for Products and Services will enter into force on 28 June 2025. This Act transposes Directive (EU) 2019/882, into Croatian legislation and establishes a new regulatory framework requiring businesses to ensure that certain products and services they place on the market are accessible to persons with disabilities. This regulatory framework has been developed carefully and over a long period of time, which means that the new obligations imposed on businesses are substantial. Nevertheless, the Act recognises that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may face greater challenges in complying with these requirements. Accordingly, it provides for specific mechanisms to ensure that accessibility requirements are applied only to the extent that they do not impose a disproportionate burden and do not necessitate significant changes to the products and services in question.
