IS 5568Israel
Israeli Standard 5568 Web Accessibility
The Regulations require conformance with IS 5568 (as amended from time to time) at level AA. The current IS 5568 Part 1 (September 2023, replacing the May 2021 edition) is identical to WCAG 2.0 with national changes: success criteria 1.2.4 and 1.2.5 are raised to AAA, 2.4.10 Section Headings is required at AA, and 3.1.2 Language of Parts does not apply. The report filter and the Israel VPAT apply these changes. VAT-exempt dealers and businesses with average annual turnover of NIS 100,000 or less are exempt.
