• 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)).
• The accessibility requirements of points 1 to 4 of Annex 1 apply to a product or service only so far as compliance does not require a significant change that fundamentally alters its basic nature and does not impose a disproportionate burden on you (Art. 14(1); implements Directive (EU) 2019/882, Art. 14(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)).

• 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)).

• 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.
