Latvian accessibility legislation

 

Scope

Regulation LV 2018/611 is the Latvian implementation of Directive EU 2016/2102. It is very similar to the European legislation, but it furthermore does not apply to the following content types:

  • Live streaming services of public service broadcasters.
  • Online maps and mapping services intended for navigation, if and only if essential information is provided in an accessible digital manner.
  • Reproductions of cultural heritage items where accessibility requirements are incompatible with the preservation of authenticity or where automated and cost-effective solutions are not readily available.

Accessibility feedback

Identical to the European legislation.

Enforcement

Throughout all of Latvia, the authority in charge of implementing this regulation is the Latvian Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development.
