Nordic Guidelines for the Production of Accessible EPUB 3

The Nordic Guidelines for the Production of Accessible EPUB 3 is a joint effort between the (mostly) Nordic agencies dedicated to providing accessible literature in different formats to children and adults with various reading impairments or special needs. The guidelines provide an application of EPUB 3 for the purposes of the production of accessible books carried out at the Nordic agencies.

The target audience of these documents is mainly contracted EPUB 3 suppliers, but the guidelines will also be used by staff at the Nordic agencies, other vendors and interested parties, etc.

The Nordic Guidelines are hosted by MTM, the Swedish Agency for Accessible Media.
