Real Decreto 1112/2018 regulates the accessibility of websites and mobile apps within the public sector in Spain. This decree aligns with the European Union’s Web Accessibility Directive, ensuring that public sector digital platforms are accessible to all users, including those using assistive technologies. Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2013 (General Disability Law) provides a comprehensive framework for the rights of individuals with diverse abilities in Spain, emphasizing accessibility in digital environments, public spaces, and services.

Both regulations require that public sector websites and mobile applications meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards. This includes ensuring compatibility with screen readers, providing text alternatives for non-text content, maintaining sufficient contrast ratios for readability, and ensuring all content is navigable via keyboard. Furthermore, digital content must be adaptable to meet the needs of diverse users, including neurodivergent individuals.

The Real Decreto 1112/2018 applies to all public sector websites and mobile applications in Spain, while the Real Decreto Legislativo 1/2013 applies to public and private sector organizations that provide services to individuals with diverse abilities. Compliance with these laws is mandatory for government agencies and strongly recommended for private companies offering public services.
