• If you provide audiovisual media services, ensure gradually and continuously that persons with disabilities have access to the services you provide, through effective measures that include sign language, subtitling for persons with hearing impairments, spoken subtitles and audio description (Law 504/2002, Art. 41^1(1); implements Directive 2010/13/EU, Art. 7).
• Give the Council an annual report on those measures, publish it on your website, and communicate to the Council any action plan with accessibility measures for persons with disabilities (Art. 41^1(2) and (3)).
• If you provide a national television programme service, interpret into sign language and subtitle in synchrony at least 30 minutes of the daily programmed news, analysis and debate on current political or economic topics, interpret major programmes in full or in summary, give the verbal warning 'Atenție! Emisiune dedicată și persoanelor cu deficiențe de auz' with a static, legible notice, and show the warning sign of the Annex with the major programmes (Art. 42^1(2)); a local television programme service does the same, by sign-language interpretation and/or synchronised subtitling (Art. 42^1(3)).
• If you provide a national television programme service transmitted in digital packages, broadcast Romanian cinematographic productions, short or feature length, and documentaries produced after 1 January 2019 with Romanian subtitles; the obligation to subtitle falls exclusively on the producer, and the technological solution must allow the on-screen subtitles to be switched off (Art. 42^1(4) and (5)).
• Provide emergency information, including public communications and announcements during natural disasters, in a way accessible to persons with disabilities (Art. 42^1(6)).
• Apply the implementing mechanisms the Council sets under Article 42^1(8); the Council's Decision 573/2025 sets the minimum shares of accessible programmes (see its own entry).

• If you sell goods with digital elements to a consumer in Romania, ensure that the consumer is informed about updates and is supplied with the updates, including security updates, needed to keep the goods in conformity, for the period the consumer can reasonably expect where the sale contract provides a single act of supply of the digital content or service (Article 6(3)(a)).
• Where the sale contract provides continuous supply of the digital content or service over a set period, supply those updates for the periods in Article 9(3) and (4): two years from delivery for goods with an average period of use of up to five years, five years from delivery for goods with a longer average period of use, and the contractual supply period where it exceeds five years (Article 6(3)(b)).
• Supply goods with the durability, functionality, compatibility and security that are normal for goods of the same type and that the consumer can reasonably expect (Article 6(1)(d)).
• Tell the consumer that an update is available and what follows if it is not installed, and give installation instructions without deficiencies, to rely on the consumer's failure to install it (Article 6(4)).

• If you are a manufacturer, authorised representative, importer, distributor or service provider that relies on that limit, carry out the assessment of fundamental alteration or disproportionate burden on the criteria of Annex 6, keep the result for five years from the last time you made a product available or provided the service, and send a copy to the authorities of Article 19(1) on request (Art. 14(2) and (3)).
• If you are not a microenterprise and rely on Article 14(1) for a product or service, send information to that effect to the authorities of Article 19(1), or to the responsible authorities of the Member State where the product is placed on the market or the service is provided (Art. 14(7)).
• If you provide a service and rely on the disproportionate-burden limit, renew the assessment for each category or type of service when the service is changed, when the authorities ask, and at least every five years (Art. 14(5)); you cannot rely on the limit for a requirement where you received funding from a source other than your own resources to improve accessibility (Art. 14(6)).
• If you rely on the Article 14 exemption for a product, state in the EU declaration of conformity the accessibility requirements that the exemption covers (Art. 16(1)).

• A microenterprise that deals with products need not keep the assessment for five years, but must give the relevant assessment data to an authority of Article 19(1) that asks for it where it applies Article 14(1) (Art. 14(4)).
• A product or service that meets the national standards of other Member States adopting harmonised standards, or technical specifications, is treated as meeting the accessibility requirements to the extent those standards or specifications cover them (Art. 15).
• A product or service whose features, elements or functions meet the requirements of point 6 of Annex 1 is treated as meeting the relevant accessibility obligations of other acts of the European Union for those features, elements and functions, unless those acts provide otherwise (Art. 24(2); implements Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 24(2)).
• Until 28 June 2030 you may keep providing services with the products you used to provide similar services before that date, and service contracts concluded before 28 June 2025 stay valid without changes until they expire, for no more than five years from that date (Art. 29(1); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 32(1)). Self-service terminals you used to provide services before 28 June 2025 may be used for similar services for no more than 20 years after they came into use (Art. 29(2); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 32(2)).

• If you provide an e-commerce service, give information on the accessibility of the products and services you sell where the responsible economic operator provides that information, and make the identification, security and payment functions delivered as part of the service, and the identification methods, electronic signatures and payment systems you provide, perceivable, usable, understandable and robust (Annex 1, point 4.1(g)).

• If you provide e-books, deliver audio and text in synchrony where the e-book has audio, keep its digital files from preventing assistive technologies from working, give access to the content, navigation within it and its file format including dynamic layout, allow alternative renderings interoperable with assistive technologies, make it identifiable through metadata on its accessibility features, and keep digital rights management from blocking accessibility features (Annex 1, point 4.1(f)).
• If you provide air, rail, maritime or bus passenger transport services other than urban, suburban and regional transport, give information on the accessibility of vehicles and infrastructure and on assistance, and on smart ticketing, real-time travel information and additional services, information screens being covered only where they are interactive and located in Romania (Art. 2(4)(d); Annex 1, point 4.1(c)); for urban, suburban and regional transport, make the self-service terminals used to provide the service accessible under point 1 of Annex 1 (Art. 4(3), Annex 1, point 4.1(d)).
• Prepare the information required by Annex 5, explain how the service meets the accessibility requirements, make it public in written and oral form including in a way accessible to persons with disabilities, and keep it as long as the service is available (Art. 13(2)(a) to (d); Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 13(2)).
• Keep procedures that keep the provision of the service in conformity, and take account of changes in the characteristics of the service, in the accessibility requirements and in the harmonised standards or technical specifications on which conformity is declared (Art. 13(3)).
• If the service does not meet the applicable accessibility requirements, inform the authorities of Article 19(1) at once, state the non-conformity and the corrective measures taken, and take corrective measures; supply, on a reasoned request, all information showing that the service meets the requirements, and cooperate with the authorities (Art. 13(2)(e) to (g)).

• Article 4(5) exempts a microenterprise providing services from the accessibility requirements of Article 4(3) and any obligation relating to compliance with them; in the Act, Article 4(3) is the rule that holds urban, suburban and regional transport services to point 4 of Annex 1, while Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 4(5), exempts microenterprises providing services from all its service requirements. Article 3(1) point 12 defines a microenterprise as an enterprise that has fewer than 10 employees and whose annual turnover does not exceed the leu equivalent of EUR 2 million or whose annual balance sheet total does not exceed the leu equivalent of EUR 2 million.

• Do not assume this Act answers whether standalone software is a product: Article 2(1)(b) speaks of any movable good and electricity and does not name software (Art. 2(1)(b)).
• If you make a product, a raw material or a component part, or put your name, trade mark or another distinguishing sign on a product, you answer as its producer (Art. 2(1)(a)(1) and (2)).
• If you import a product from the European Union for sale, rental, purchase or another form of disposal in the course of your own commercial activity, you answer as its producer, to the same extent as the producer (Art. 2(1)(a)(4)).
• If the producer of a product cannot be identified, give the injured consumer, within a reasonable time, the identity of the producer or of the person who supplied you, or you are treated as the producer (Art. 2(1)(a)(5)).
• Make the product as safe as a person is entitled to expect, judged on its presentation, all its foreseeable uses and the date you put it into circulation; a similar improved product put into circulation later does not make it defective (Art. 2(1)(d) and (2)).
• Be ready to prove an Article 7 exoneration: that you did not put the product into circulation, that the defect did not exist then or arose later from causes not attributable to you, that you did not make it for sale or distribution in the course of your professional activity, that the defect results from complying with mandatory regulations, that the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time did not allow the defect to be detected, or that the consumer did not follow the instructions for use supplied with it, shown by a specialist technical expert report (Art. 7(1)).
• If you made only a component, be ready to prove that the defect is attributable to the faulty design of the assembly it was fitted into or to the instructions of the producer of the consumer product (Art. 7(2)).
• Do not rely on a contract term to limit or exclude your liability: such a clause is absolutely null (Art. 10).
• Answer a contractual or tort claim on the same damage as well: the Act does not exclude those claims (Art. 9(1)).
• Keep the claim periods in view: the injured person has three years from learning of the damage, the defect and the producer's identity, and no action can be brought more than ten years after you put the product into circulation (Art. 11).
