Royal Decree 1112/2018 on the accessibility of websites and mobile applications of the public sector
The Spanish Ministry of the Presidency issues Royal Decree 1112/2018 to transpose EU Directive 2016/2102, mandating that public sector websites and mobile applications meet specific accessibility standards. The decree establishes binding requirements for design, maintenance, and updates, while requiring public bodies to publish accessibility statements and implement complaint mechanisms for non-compliance. It defines the scope of application, lists specific content exclusions such as pre-existing archives and live broadcasts, and sets phased entry-into-force dates to ensure effective access for persons with disabilities and the elderly.
