What you get

All VPAT editions

WCAG, Section 508, EU (EN 301 549), and INT editions of the VPAT 2.5 template — we prepare the edition your buyer or regulator requires.

Evidence-based conformance

Each criterion's rating is grounded in automated and manual testing, including evaluation by people with disabilities — so the report holds up to scrutiny.

Honest, defensible ratings

Supports, Partially Supports, and Does Not Support are assigned accurately with clear remarks. An overstated VPAT is a legal liability; ours is dependable.

Procurement-ready

Formatted to drop straight into RFP responses and vendor security and accessibility reviews, accelerating enterprise and public-sector deals.

Remediation roadmap

Alongside the report, you get a prioritized plan to move 'Partially Supports' criteria toward full conformance.

Kept current

We refresh your VPAT as your product evolves, so the document you hand to buyers always reflects reality.

A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) — completed as an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) — is increasingly the price of entry for selling software to governments and large enterprises. But a VPAT is only as valuable as the testing behind it. An overstated report that claims “Supports” where your product doesn’t is worse than none at all: it creates legal exposure and destroys buyer trust.

Which VPAT edition do you need?

The VPAT 2.5 template comes in four editions, and the right one depends on your market:

WCAG — the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines only
Section 508 — US federal procurement (incorporates WCAG)
EU — EN 301 549, required across the European public sector
INT — international edition covering WCAG, Section 508, and EN 301 549 together

We help you choose the correct edition — or produce the INT edition when you sell into multiple markets.

Our process

Scoping — We confirm the product version, platforms, and the edition you need.
Testing — Automated scans plus manual testing, including evaluation by people with disabilities, against every applicable criterion.
Rating — Each criterion is rated Supports, Partially Supports, or Does Not Support, with clear, specific remarks and explanations.
Report — We deliver a clean, procurement-ready ACR.
Roadmap — Alongside it, a prioritized plan to close the gaps behind every “Partially Supports.”

Why an evidence-based VPAT matters

Wins deals — Procurement and vendor reviews increasingly require an ACR before purchase; having an accurate one removes a blocker.
Reduces risk — Honest, defensible ratings protect you from accessibility-related complaints and litigation.
Builds trust — Buyers’ accessibility teams can tell the difference between a real report and a rubber-stamped one.

From report to roadmap

Beyond the document itself, you receive a prioritized remediation plan that turns “Partially Supports” criteria into full conformance — and we keep the VPAT current as your product changes. Pair the VPAT with recurring audits so the claims in your report stay true over time, and explore the underlying standards on our compliance guides.

Frequently asked questions

What is a VPAT and why do I need one?

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template documents how your product conforms to accessibility standards. When completed it becomes an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), and it's frequently required in government and enterprise procurement.

Which standards does the VPAT cover?

Depending on the edition, it covers WCAG 2.x, Section 508, and EN 301 549. We help you choose the right edition for your market and complete it accordingly.

Can't I fill out the VPAT myself?

You can, but an inaccurate self-assessment creates legal and reputational risk. Our reports are based on real testing — including testing by people with disabilities — so the ratings are accurate and defensible.

How long does a VPAT take?

It depends on product size and complexity. After a scoping call we give you a timeline; most reports are completed within a few weeks once testing is underway.

What is the difference between a VPAT and an ACR?

A VPAT is the blank template. Once it has been completed for your specific product, the resulting document is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). In everyday use people often say 'VPAT' to mean the finished ACR.

How often should a VPAT be updated?

Whenever your product changes materially, and at least annually. An outdated VPAT that no longer matches your product is a liability; we offer refresh cycles to keep it accurate.
