Notes: Sanktionsavgift (sanction fee) ranges from 10,000 to 10,000,000 SEK, set by severity and scope; may be reduced for special circumstances. At the EUR/SEK rate of ~10.96 on 2026-08-10, that range is approximately €910 to €912,000 — illustrative only; the legally binding figures are the SEK ones. A separate vite (conditional fine) can be imposed for failing to comply with a supervisory order, as a fixed amount or an accruing daily fine.

Who is obligated in Sweden

Sweden's law covers the same EU-wide scope as every other member state: producers, importers, distributors and service providers dealing in computers, smartphones, e-readers, payment terminals, ATMs, e-commerce, banking services, e-books, and passenger transport information systems. Manufacturers bear the primary duty to design accessibility in; importers and distributors must confirm that duty was met before goods reach the Swedish market. Microenterprises (under 10 staff, under €2 million turnover or balance sheet) are exempt from the services obligations only — a microenterprise still manufacturing or importing a covered physical product remains fully in scope for the product rules.

What happens if you don't comply

Sweden enforces through a sanktionsavgift (sanction fee) of 10,000 to 10,000,000 SEK, scaled to the severity and scope of the breach and potentially reduced for mitigating circumstances. Separately, if a business ignores a supervisory authority's corrective order, it can be hit with a vite — a conditional fine that can be a fixed lump sum or an amount that accrues daily until the business complies — layered on top of, not instead of, the sanction fee.

How this differs from the EU baseline

Sweden splits enforcement across three sector regulators rather than concentrating it in one body: Post- och telestyrelsen (PTS) is the lead market-surveillance authority for most products and services, Mediemyndigheten supervises audiovisual media services, and Konsumentverket covers passenger transport services. Its penalty structure is also two-layered in a way most countries on this site are not — a scaled sanction fee for the underlying breach, plus a separate escalating fine specifically for ignoring a supervisory order, rather than one combined maximum.

How to complain

PTS accepts accessibility complaints through its online e-service at lptt.pts.se, and you can choose to submit anonymously. You can also reach PTS by phone or by email at tillganglighetslagen@pts.se. PTS does not personally follow up on individual complaints, but uses what it receives to plan its supervision and market-control priorities — so a report feeds enforcement even without a direct reply.
