Sweden’s DOS-Lagen (Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services) aims to ensure that digital content and services provided by public sector organizations are accessible to all users, including those with diverse abilities. It aligns with the EU’s accessibility initiatives to create an inclusive digital environment.
The DOS-Lagen (Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services) mandates that all public sector websites and mobile applications in Sweden be accessible to neurodivergent users and people with diverse abilities. The law aligns with WCAG 2.1 guidelines and strives to provide equal access to digital services for everyone, regardless of their individual needs or abilities.
Under DOS-Lagen, all Swedish public sector organizations must ensure their digital content is perceivable, operable, and understandable. This includes using text alternatives for non-text content, ensuring keyboard accessibility, providing proper contrast ratios, and ensuring compatibility with screen readers and other assistive technologies. Additionally, websites must offer accessible multimedia, such as captioned videos and accessible forms.
The DOS-Lagen applies to all government websites, public agencies, and organizations that offer public services in Sweden. While the law is mandatory for public sector organizations, private entities offering public services are encouraged to adopt these accessibility practices to provide an inclusive experience for all users.
