XAML

Set FlowDirection as RightToLeft to Accordion.

<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.XForms.Accordion;assembly=Syncfusion.Expander.XForms"
             x:Class="AccordionXamarin.MainPage" Padding="{OnPlatform iOS='0,40,0,0'}">

    <ContentPage.Content>
        <syncfusion:SfAccordion x:Name="Accordion" ExpandMode="SingleOrNone" Margin="5" BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding Info}" FlowDirection="{OnPlatform Android='RightToLeft', iOS='RightToLeft'}">
            <BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <syncfusion:AccordionItem x:Name="AccordionItem">
                        <syncfusion:AccordionItem.Header>
                            <Grid HeightRequest="50">
                                <Label Text="{Binding Name}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand"/>
                            </Grid>
                        </syncfusion:AccordionItem.Header>
                        <syncfusion:AccordionItem.Content>
                            <Grid Padding="5" BackgroundColor="NavajoWhite">
                                <Label Text="{Binding Description}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand"/>
                            </Grid>
                        </syncfusion:AccordionItem.Content>
                    </syncfusion:AccordionItem>
                </DataTemplate>
            </BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
        </syncfusion:SfAccordion>
    </ContentPage.Content>

</ContentPage>

In UWP platform, the ScrollView is not changed when RTL is enabled (framework issue). To overcome this issue, set the FlowDirection property in constructor of MainPage in UWP renderer.

Set FlowDirection to RightToLeft in constructor of MainPage

namespace AccordionXamarin.UWP
{
    public sealed partial class MainPage
    {
        public MainPage()
        {
            this.InitializeComponent();
            SfAccordionRenderer.Init();
            this.FlowDirection = FlowDirection.RightToLeft;
            LoadApplication(new AccordionXamarin.App());
        }
    }
}

Output

AccordionRTL
