Israeli Accessibility Compliance

Legal notice

This is a free information tool operated by an AI model. It explains Israeli accessibility law, maps the IS 5568 requirements, runs static HTML checks and drafts an accessibility statement, and all of its output is produced automatically, without the involvement, review or approval of a certified accessibility expert (morshe negishut). The output is not a certified accessibility expert's opinion, not an accredited accessibility audit and not legal advice: it is raw technical and explanatory material only. It does not include manual testing with assistive technology, does not review documents under IS 5568 Part 2, does not produce the technological-difficulty opinion required by Regulation 35ו(א), and does not verify the current index-linked statutory damages figure. An AI model may err, omit data or present a wrong conclusion.

The accessibility statement block in Step 9 and the output of audit_a11y.py are a working draft for internal organisational use, to be reviewed by a certified accessibility expert (morshe negishut) before publication and before being relied on against an enforcement action or a civil claim. This tool is not a substitute for advice that takes into account the particular circumstances and needs of each person, and before publishing an accessibility statement, claiming an exemption or answering a complaint you should turn to a certified accessibility expert or to a lawyer.
