Stanca Act / AgID Web Accessibility Guidelines
Italian law 4/2004 (Stanca Act) on digital accessibility for public administrations, extended in 2020 to private companies with turnover over €500 million. AgID guidelines align with EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA; AgID can fine those companies up to 5% of turnover. Private services covered by the European Accessibility Act (D.Lgs. 82/2022) follow AgID’s EAA guidelines adopted in March 2026 (Determinazione 38/2026), also based on EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1.
