If a letter comes, you’ve already answered it.
An EN 301 549 accessibility statement, a dated fix log and a conformance declaration — the difference between panicking and forwarding a PDF.
The point is the paperwork. That is what makes a letter go away.
- [✓] EAA accessibility statement, written to EN 301 549, with your details, conformance level and remediation timeline.
- [✓] A dated fix log showing every issue found and how it was resolved in the code.
- [✓] A flagged list of items that still need human judgement, stated plainly.
- [✓] A conformance declaration you can hand straight to a lawyer or a supervisory authority.
- [✓] Monthly re-scan and a refreshed, timestamped statement, so you stay defensible.

Why each document matters
If a complaint reaches a lawyer or a supervisory authority, they do not want marketing claims; they want evidence of a genuine, ongoing effort. The EN 301 549 accessibility statement is the document the EAA expects a trader to publish: it states your conformance position plainly, including the parts still under review. A dated fix log shows exactly what was changed and when, which demonstrates you acted rather than ignored the problem.
The conformance declaration ties it together, setting out what has been verified against the standard and what remains flagged for human work. Honest partial conformance, backed by dates, reads far better to a regulator than a silent overlay claiming a perfect pass it cannot support.
Kept current, not a one-off
A single audit is accurate only on the day it runs. Shopify stores change constantly: new products arrive without alt text, a theme update reorders headings, a promotion adds a low-contrast banner. Within weeks, a one-off report describes a store that no longer exists, and stale evidence is weak evidence.
StoreProof re-scans every month and alerts you when a regression appears, so new issues are caught close to when they happen rather than discovered during a complaint. Each pass refreshes the fix log and reissues the accessibility statement with a current timestamp — a living record that reflects your store as it is today.
