What it is
IS 5568 — Israeli Standard 5568, a near-direct translation of WCAG 2.0 AA. Made legally enforceable by the 2013 Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities (Service Accessibility Adjustments) Regulations, which require conformance from any business with an online presence serving Israeli consumers.
Why it matters
