Legal Framework · EU-wide

EU law. National implementation. One solution for all three jurisdictions.

Legal requirements for digital accessibility are growing across the EU, making document compliance a strategic priority. RockDoc Access turns this regulatory obligation into a smooth, automated workflow, for a modern and future-proof administration.

Since 2016
EU Directive 2016/2102

The cornerstone of digital accessibility in Europe: every public-sector body must make websites, apps and documents accessible under EN 301 549 (WCAG 2.1 AA). PDF/UA is the established standard for accessible PDFs.

Since 2006 / expanded 2019
WZG / BGStG

Austria's Web Accessibility Act and the Federal Disability Equality Act bind federal services. Violations are no longer minor issues.

Since 06/2025 / expanded
BaFG Accessibility Act

For the first time, the obligation to digital accessibility extends to private B2C companies, including online shops, e-banking, e-ticketing and booking platforms. Public-sector bodies have been obligated for years.

Hundreds of millions of PDF documents in the EU are unreadable for visually impaired people – not because they don't want to, but because the tags are missing. This isn't a technical detail. It's exclusion.
The Problem

Millions of Documents. Too Little Time. Too Much Risk.

All EU and national regulations translate the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD), Art. 9, Accessibility into binding law. The obligations differ in detail, the technical standard (EN 301 549 with WCAG 2.1 AA, supplemented for PDFs by PDF/UA-1) applies everywhere.

The Volume
Every public institution and every large company generates hundreds to millions of new PDFs every day, decisions, invoices, reports, policies, contract documents, product information. Every single one is subject to accessibility requirements.
The Effort
Manual remediation ties up 30–90 minutes of qualified processing time per document (median around 45 min). For a mid-sized authority handling 50,000 PDFs per year, that adds up to roughly 22 full-time equivalents.
The Risk
Incorrectly processed documents violate PDF/UA and therefore the references in EAA, BaFG, WZG and BGStG. Fines of up to €100,000, market withdrawals, class actions, and complaints from regulators and audit courts are real consequences.

The Process

Compliance at the Push of a Button.
Three Steps to EU Compliance.

Your staff don't need to change a thing. The entire process runs invisibly and fully automatically in the background.

01
Create

The employee creates the document as usual, in Word, Excel, directly from the specialist system, or from the corporate output management system. No change to the existing workflow whatsoever.

02
Automate

RockDoc Access automatically detects missing structures and adds all required tags fully machine-driven, without manual intervention, without delay, without data leaving your premises.

03
Publish

The result is a Matterhorn-validated, standards-compliant PDF/UA-1 document, ready for immediate publication or delivery. No expertise required. No compliance risk.

Official Gazettes & Legal Publications

Public bodies across every EU member state are required to publish ordinances, announcements, and legal acts online without delay and in fully accessible form. At the daily volumes involved, manual remediation is not a viable option, every delay translates into a measurable compliance risk.

  • Typesetting files are converted to standards-compliant PDF/UA-1 documents directly at export
  • No manual intermediate steps, documents go online accessible from the start
  • Full fulfilment of publication obligations under Directive (EU) 2016/2102

Citizen Information & Public Sector Publications

Ministries and authorities publish elaborately designed brochures with multi-column layouts, embedded tables, and infographics. Without proper technical preparation, these documents are unusable for blind and visually impaired citizens, a direct violation of the equal-treatment requirements of the EAA and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Art. 21, 26).

  • Intelligent layout detection handles multi-column structures with the correct reading order
  • Table structures rendered semantically correctly for screen readers, even with layered layouts
  • Graphics receive meaningful alt text automatically, in line with WCAG 2.2 AA

Notices, Grant Decisions & Mass Communication

Tax notices, social-benefit decisions, grant decisions, the personalised mass communication of public administration. Every notice must be delivered as an individual PDF/UA-1, often with tables, attachments, and logos.

  • Fully automated processing in the output pipeline with no performance penalty
  • Dynamic table recognition even for variable data fields
  • Per-document audit trail for internal review and supervisory inspection
