The Israeli accessibility standard IS 5568 is anchored to WCAG 2.0 AA (some sources describe the current edition as 2.1 AA, so sources differ) and adds unique requirements for Hebrew and RTL that are not covered by international guides. Israeli businesses are legally required to comply, and non-compliance exposes them to lawsuits and Commission administrative penalties. In practice, most developers are unaware of the differences and rely on tools that do not check the Israeli-specific requirements.

When to Apply
- When building a website in Israel that must comply with IS 5568 (anchored to WCAG 2.0 AA; sources differ on whether the current edition reaches 2.1)
- When checking whether a business is exempt: website-accessibility exemptions are revenue-based (full exemption for osek patur, temporary tiers below 100,000 NIS and 100,000-1,000,000 NIS, no automatic exemption above 1,000,000 NIS)
- When handling a complaint or legal demand to fix accessibility issues, including the 60-day cure period
- When performing an audit with screen readers (NVDA, JAWS) and keyboard navigation
- When upgrading compliance per the Commission for Equal Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- When building an accessibility preferences widget for a Next.js or React site that must satisfy Regulation 35 and IS 5568
Try These Prompts
What are the main requirements of the IS 5568 accessibility standard for websites in Israel? How does it differ from WCAG 2.1?
How do I verify that a Hebrew app complies with IS 5568? What tools, manual checks, and documents are required?
How do I configure ARIA attributes for a Hebrew RTL interface? Including aria-label, aria-describedby, and support for Hebrew screen readers.
Build me an accessibility preferences widget for my Next.js site compliant with Israeli Regulation 35 and WCAG 2.0 AA. User-preference toggles only (contrast, text size, line spacing, cursor, motion), not an auto-alt-text overlay. Use a pub-sub store, localStorage, and a FOUC bootstrap script.
Add an Alt+A keyboard shortcut to my accessibility widget that works on macOS as well as Windows/Linux. Use e.code === 'KeyA', not e.key === 'a', because macOS produces the dead-key 'å'.
