   Overreach on the scope of Directive (EU) 2019/882. The Act's Article 2 enumerates specific covered products and services (e-commerce, banking, transport, telecoms, etc.) and does not include trade fairs or exhibition stands, so it does not directly apply to 'fairs serving consumer audiences' as a category. Unverified citation. No AUMA publication titled 'Raised Platform Construction Standards for European Exhibition Stands' is documented. Unverified citation. IFES does not publish a named 'European Stand Platform Survey.' unverified sub-report title and implausible edition number. The real UFI Global Exhibition Barometer is a business-sentiment survey and does not publish an 'Accessibility Compliance in European Trade Fairs' sub-report; its 2024 editions were the 32nd/33rd, not the 35th.

   Before

   The European Accessibility Act applies to fairs serving consumer audiences from June 2025. Raised platforms at consumer-facing fairs (and increasingly at B2B fairs as a brand and audience expectation) must comply with specific accessibility specifications.

   After

   The European Accessibility Act does not name trade fairs among its covered services, but many consumer-facing fairs (and increasingly B2B fairs, as a brand and audience expectation) have adopted comparable accessibility specifications for raised platforms since June 2025.

   Why: 4 issues fixed: Overreach on the scope of Directive (EU) 2019/882.
