Accessibility Solutions
Accessibility is becoming increasingly critical, due to the rapid development of the web environment
Diversification of Users, Environments, and Viewing Devices
The continued diversification of website visits is increasingly pronounced, reasons include a higher percentage of senior users, the emergence of smartphones utilizing iOS and Android, varied use environments, as well as access from new device-types.
March 2016, Web Accessibility JIS Revised, Consistent with International Standards
The Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) for accessibility, which ensures content on the web is accessible to all, was revised for the second time and published on March 22, 2016, becoming JIS X 8341-3:2016.
The revision has attracted attention because it is now consistent with the WCAG 2.0 international standard, which has become ISO/IEC 40500:2012.
April 2016, Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities comes into Effect
On April 1, 2016, the Act on the Promotion of Elimination of Discrimination on the Basis of Disability, also known as the Disability Discrimination Act, came into effect. As part of the provision of reasonable accommodation and environmental improvement for persons with disabilities, websites are also required to provide accessible content.
