The exact change
Directive EU 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act) entered effect across EU member states in stages from June 2025. For exhibition stands open to public visitors, the directive applies to floor transitions, circulation widths, surface slip-resistance, and visual-contrast requirements at level changes.
Directive EU 2019/882 (the European Accessibility Act) entered effect across EU member states in stages from June 2025, covering a defined list of products and services that does not name exhibition stands. Many venues nonetheless expect stands open to public visitors to follow comparable accessibility practices for floor transitions, circulation widths, surface slip-resistance, and visual-contrast requirements at level changes, as a matter of venue policy rather than direct legal obligation.

Why this is better
2 issues fixed: Overreach on the scope of Directive (EU) 2019/882. The Act's enumerated covered services do not include exhibition stands, so it does not create an accessibility regime that 'now applies to all public-facing stand transitions' at trade fairs. | Fabricated citation. No specific AUMA publication titled 'AUMA Stand Construction Guidance' with dedicated flooring and accessibility sections is documented under this name.
