Slovakia-specific requirements
Slovakia's EAA transposition is enforced primarily through the Slovak Trade Inspection (SOI), a well-established consumer protection authority with experience in market surveillance across multiple product categories. Slovakia has been modernising its digital government services through the National Concept of eGovernment, which includes digital accessibility considerations. The country's position as part of the Visegrad Group (V4) means there is regional coordination on digital policy matters. Slovakia's Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities (Komisár pre osoby so zdravotným postihnutím) provides independent oversight and advocacy for disability rights, including accessibility.
