Hi Pranav,
Since this is the "BRITISH" Standards Institute I presume,
they would be covered here in the U.K. by the Disability
Discrimination Act (DDA). This essentially makes it law to
provide material in an accessible format, which this year
acquired somewhat more in the way of teeth than when it was
originally introduced.
However, I'm not sure how it applies to material they supply
abroad, and that may be their get out.
Now if you'd like to do a little bit of "stirring", I would
suggest you point them to the following item on their web
page, "BSI Calls on Industry to Improve Communications to
the Blind".
http://www.bsi-global.com/PSS/press_releases.xalter/RNIB.xal
ter
Then ask them to put their money where there mouth (sorry,
"Web page") is. (Smile)
George.
