The EAA has been approved on 27 June 2019, should be implemented by EU Member States within 28 June 2022 and will enter in force from 28 June 2025. This note aims to demonstrate that the technical requirements of the European Accessibility Act related to ebooks are met by the EPUB standard. The methodology used is mapping the requirements of the EU Accessibility Act related to ebooks to the EPUB Accessibility specification. # Status https://w3c.github.io/epub-specs/epub33/epub-a11y-eaa-mapping/#sotd # Link to group's decision to request transition https://www.w3.org/publishing/groups/epub-wg/Meetings/Minutes/2021-06-18-epub#resolution2 # Information about implementations known to the Group (if relevant) n/a Cc: @dauwhe @gregoriopellegrino @wareid @shiestyle @mattgarrish -- This email was generated automatically using https://github.com/w3c/transition-issues-bot
