Lithuania: product and service accessibility requirements enforced by VVTAT
Gaminių ir paslaugų prieinamumo reikalavimų įstatymas No. XIV-1633 entered into force 2025-06-28 (Article 30(2) entered into force earlier, on 2022-12-23), transposing the European Accessibility Act (EU) 2019/882. Already in force, but VVTAT market-surveillance enforcement activity is expected to intensify through 2026-2028, which is why this is included as a live obligation rather than only a historical entry.
Small, medium and large companies offering in-scope products or services in Lithuania (especially e-commerce, banking, transport, telecom and media); micro-enterprises are generally exempt from the services obligations under the underlying EU directive.
