Who has to comply
Public-sector since 2019; consumer services from 28 June 2025.
Slovakia is a small, open economy closely integrated with the Czech and Central-European markets, so foreign sellers targeting the region routinely reach Slovak consumers. Under the EAA implementation, a non-EU store selling to Slovak consumers is covered on the country-of-consumption basis. A Slovak-language accessibility statement is expected, and sellers who localise only for Czechia should not assume that satisfies the distinct Slovak requirement.
What the law actually requires
Act 95/2019 + EAA sets the technical bar at WCAG 2.1 Level AA via EN 301 549. On top of it, Zákon č. 95/2019 Z.z. lists these operational duties:
- EN 301 549 / WCAG 2.1 AA
- Slovak-language accessibility statement
Penalties and how enforcement actually works
Administrative penalties per the EAA implementing act.
Enforcement is led centrally by the Ministry of Investments, Regional Development and Informatization (MIRRI), which monitors the public-sector regime, coordinated with the consumer-protection regulator for private-sector services. Slovakia's model is centralised and largely complaint-driven, with administrative penalties under the EAA implementing act. As a smaller administration building out its private-sector enforcement, the first cycle is likely to focus on clear, checkable failures — the presence and adequacy of the Slovak statement and feedback channel — before technical deep-dives.
