This guidelines document is a joint effort between the (mostly) Nordic agencies dedicated to providing accessible literature in different formats – e.g. talking books, braille, and accessible e-books – to children and adults with various reading impairments or special needs. The participating organisations are [Celia](https://www.celia.fi/), [Dedicon](https://www.dedicon.nl/), [HBS](https://hbs.is/), [MTM](https://mtm.se), [NLB](https://www.nlb.no/), [Nota](https://nota.dk/), [SBS](https://www.sbs.ch/), [SPSM](https://www.spsm.se/), and [Statped](http://statped.no/).

Making book content accessible starts in well-structured and granular semantic markup using available markup and accessibility standards. For the Nordic agencies, a starting point in their production of accessible literature is a base production file in EPUB 3, from which further transformations are made, and/or additional layers of accessibility features are added. This guidelines document collects instructions for the application of [EPUB 3.3](https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33/) and [EPUB Accessibility 1.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-11/), bridging the gap between general standards and the local context(s) of the Nordic agencies.

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

The different levels of specification can be expressed as the following hierarchy:

1. High-level specifications, e.g. [EPUB 3.3](https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-33/), [EPUB Accessibility 1.1](https://www.w3.org/TR/epub-a11y-11/), [HTML5](https://www.w3.org/TR/html/) etc.

2. The Nordic Guidelines (this document)
3. General Ordering Agency-specific guidelines (usually these build on the Nordic Guidelines, but might also contain some deviations from them)
4. Title-specific instructions, usually expressed in the form of Editing Instructions, containing further guidance on how to treat a specific title
