Automating Israeli Web Accessibility (IS 5568 AA) & WCAG 2.1 Compliance Audits with Headless DOM Inspection

Description and use

Automated scripts and a Chrome extension enable rapid compliance checks against IS 5568 AA and WCAG 2.1, producing reports and legal statements.

Problem

Ensuring compliance with Israeli Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Regulations and IS 5568 Level AA requires automated audits of DOM accessibility metrics.

Outcome

Automated DOM inspection yields metrics for image alt coverage, heading order, and language semantics, enabling rapid compliance reporting and legal statement generation for Israeli web sites.

Workflow

• Inject JavaScript audit function into browser or headless Playwright runner
• Collect image alt coverage, h1 validity, and language/dir attributes
• Return compliance data in JSON format
• Use Chrome extension to inspect active tabs
• Generate Hebrew accessibility statement via web tool
• Generate privacy policy via privacy generator

Evidence

Automated audits must evaluate several critical vectors: Alternative Text Coverage, Heading Order & Document Hierarchy, Contrast Ratios, Directionality & Language Semantics
