[Company] Accessibility Conformance Report

About This Document The VPAT is provided in four editions based on the standards/guidelines being evaluated. The editions are WCAG, Revised 508, EN 301 549 and International, which includes all of the standards.

This is the Revised Section 508 edition of the VPAT. It includes the following standards/guidelines:

● Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0

● Revised Section 508 standards published January 18, 2017 and corrected January 22, 2018

If you need a different combination of standards/guidelines, use the appropriate alternate edition of the VPAT found on the ITI Accessibility web page.

This document is broken into two main sections:

● Essential Requirements and Best Practices for using the VPAT® to complete an Accessibility Conformance Report (the instructions)

● The VPAT

Please carefully review the Essential Requirements and Best Practices sections before using the VPAT to create an Accessibility Conformance Report.

http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211 https://www.access-board.gov/ict/ https://www.access-board.gov/ict/ https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat

The purpose of these instructions is to promote accurate and consistent reporting of product accessibility information.

The VPAT is a template used to document a product's conformance with accessibility standards and guidelines. The purpose of the Accessibility Conformance Report is to assist customers and buyers in making preliminary assessments regarding the availability of commercial "Electronic and Information Technology," also referred to as “Information and Communication Technology” (ICT) products and services with features that support accessibility.

The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) provides the VPAT. Use of the template and service mark does not require membership in ITI.

Essential Requirements and Best Practices for Information & Communications Technology (ICT)

Vendors

This section provides guidance for reporting product conformance for major accessibility standards and guidelines using the VPAT® to produce an Accessibility Conformance Report. Deviating from these guidelines precludes vendors from referencing the template by name and/or the VPAT acronym.

Getting Started

1. Before creating a report, read all of the materials provided in this document.

2. Determine which accessibility standards/guidelines will be included in the Accessibility Conformance Report and use the appropriate VPAT file.

3. It is the vendor’s responsibility to maintain the integrity of the data in the report.

Essential Requirements for Authors The following are the minimum requirements to produce an Accessibility Conformance Report based on the VPAT®.

1. The VPAT name and template are registered service marks of ITI. Use of the VPAT template and name requires the inclusion of the registered service mark (i.e., “VPAT®”).

2. Users of the VPAT agree not to deviate from the Essential Requirements for Authors.

3. The template file can be used as is or replicated in a different delivery format, for example as HTML or PDF. The final conformance report must be accessible.

4. A report must contain the following content at a minimum:

● Report Title – In the heading format of “[Company Name] Accessibility Conformance Report”

● VPAT Heading Information – Template version

● Name of Product/Version – Name of Product being reported, including product version identifier if available

● Report Date – Date of report publication. At a minimum, provide the month and year of the report publication. For example, “May 2025”. If a date is included, ensure it is clear “4 May 2025” or “May 4, 2025”.

● Product Description – A brief description of the product

● Contact Information – Contact Information for follow-up questions. Listing an email is sufficient.

● Notes – Any details or further explanation about the product or the report.

This section may be left blank.

● Evaluation Methods Used – Include a description of evaluation methods used to complete the VPAT for the product under test.

● Applicable Standards/Guidelines – A clear indication of which Standards/Guidelines this Conformance Report covers.

● The list must include only the Standards/Guidelines used to evaluate the product.

● A report must contain a minimum of one Standard/Guideline or any combination of the Standards.

● The applicable Standards/Guidelines that are included in this VPAT edition are:

▪ Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 or WCAG 2.0

(ISO/IEC 40500)

▪ Revised Section 508 standards – the U.S. Federal accessibility standard for ICT Products, published by the U.S. Access Board in the Federal Register on January 18, 2017 and corrected on January 22, 2018

● If other Standards/Guidelines are reported, then use the appropriate VPAT edition.

● This information can be in a table format at the top of the report with the table heading ‘Standards/Guidelines’ and the reported Standards/Guidelines identified. This information can alternatively be supplied in the introductory text of the report. In the VPAT we have used a table as an example and listed “(yes / no)” for each standard/guideline. To indicate what the report covers, leave the appropriate yes or no on each standard/guideline.

● If multiple Standards or Guideline tables are included, each table must identify the Standard or Guideline that the criteria in that table represent.

● Terms – The report must list the definition of the terms used in the Conformance Level column. ITI recommends the following terms. If a vendor http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-WCAG20-20081211 deviates from the ITI definitions, the vendor shall reference this change in the heading Notes section. If a term is not used it can be removed from the list.

The ITI definitions are:

● Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.

● Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.

● Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.

● Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.

Note: When filling in the WCAG tables, a response may use 'Supports' where one might otherwise be inclined to use 'Not Applicable'. This is in keeping with WCAG 2.0 Understanding Conformance: This means that if there is no content to which a success criterion applies, the success criterion is satisfied.

● Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can only be used in WCAG Level AAA criteria.

● Tables for Each Standard or Guideline – Tables showing the responses to the criteria.

5. WCAG Conformance Information – The answers in the WCAG success criteria are based on the level of conformance being reported (Level A, AA or AAA).

● These tables are used to answer:

● Revised Section 508:

▪ Chapter 5 Software

▪ Chapter 6 Support Documentation

● The selected levels of WCAG 2.0 Guidelines.

● If using a summary table, due to answers applying to multiple criteria, when answering for the Revised Section 508, the answers need to be clear about which individual criteria the answer applies to. It is possible to either use a summary, selecting the worst case for the criteria, or to have separate answers or even tables for software, support documentation, authoring tools, etc., so long as the methodology used is made clear.

6. Remarks and Explanations – Detailed remarks should be provided in the Remarks and Explanations column to justify your answer in the Conformance Level column.

https://www.w3.org/TR/UNDERSTANDING-WCAG20/conformance.html

● When the conformance level is ‘Partially Supports’ or ‘Does Not Support’, the remarks should identify:

1. The functions or features with issues

2. How they do not fully support

● If the criterion does not apply, explain why.

● If an accessible alternative is used, describe it.

7. In the Section 508 tables, when subsections of criteria do not apply to the product, the section may be summarized or removed as long as an explanation is provided explaining why a criterion does not apply. Another alternative is to leave the table and add a summary why the section does not apply. For example, in Chapter 5 the criteria in 502 and 503 will not apply to a web only application, thus those sections can be removed with a summary in the notes for the chapter, or a row in the table.

Best Practices for Authors ITI suggests that authors adopt the following best practices when using the VPAT® to create an Accessibility Conformance Report.

● Branding Header: Company logo or branding information

● Report Date Changes: If a report is revised, change the report date and explain the revision in the Notes section. Alternately, create a new report and explain in the Notes section that it supersedes an earlier version of the report.

● Notes: Add any notes applicable to product or the report

● Additional information about the product version that the document references

● Any revisions to the document

● Links to any related documents

● Additional information describing the product

● Additional information about what the document does or does not cover

● Information suggested by the WCAG 2.0 Conformance Claim

● Information needed to satisfy ISO/IEC 17050-1:2004, Supplier’s

Declaration of Conformity

● Evaluation Methods Used – Describe the testing performed. Information to enter may include some combination of the following information:

http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#conformance-claims http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#conformance-claims

● Indicate whether testing is performed by testers with knowledge of general product functionality. (Instructional note: this would mean the tester knows how to use the common uses and flows of the product in addition to accessibility)

● If the product is similar to another evaluated product, provide a link to the report of the other product that contains the description of the evaluation methods used.

● Describe testing conducted with assistive technologies (Optional:

Include the assistive technologies that were used in testing.)

● Describe testing conducted with manual and automated testing tools.

(Optional: Provide a list of the tools used for testing the product.)

● If a published test method was used, provide name, publisher, URL link of the test method.

● If a vendor proprietary test method was used, provide the vendor’s name and any non-proprietary details of the testing performed.

● If another test method was used, provide a description of the test method.

● Remarks and Explanations: This section may include:

● Information regarding the testing of a given criteria.

● Information on application dependencies to support accessibility (e.g.

OS, app frameworks, browsers recommended).

● How the customer can find more information about accessibility issues.

One method can be to include the bug ID where customers can call the company’s customer support to get additional information.

● Known workarounds for accessibility issues.

● Legal Disclaimer: Area for any legal disclaimer text required by your organization.

● Report Size: To reduce the size of the report it is acceptable to remove sections. Individual criteria cannot be removed, only sections at a time.

Section removal is acceptable in the following situations:

● When an entire section is not being reported on because it does not apply to the product, for example:

▪ Chapter 4: Hardware. Information should be included in the notes for that section why it has been removed.

▪ A card reader that doesn’t have sound could remove the criteria in section 413 Closed Caption Processing Technologies and just note why the criteria doesn’t apply.

● If the product is not being evaluated for a level of the criteria (for example Level AAA) then that table may be deleted.

● If a requesting customer has identified that a section of the standard does not apply, information should be included in the notes that the section has been removed.

● WCAG 2.0 Tables: The WCAG 2.0 criteria are shown in three tables, Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

● If desired, these tables can be combined into one table.

● When reporting on a level (A, AA or AAA) all criteria for that level must be answered.

● Language: Translation to other languages is permitted.

● Multiple Reports: When using the VPAT to create an Accessibility Conformance Report for complex products it may be helpful to separate answers into multiple reports. For example, when a product is an Authoring Tool that also has web content and documentation. When multiple reports are used for a complex product, it is required to explain this and how to reach the other reports in the Notes section of each report.

● Criteria Text: To help conserve space in the ITI template only the criteria ID number and a short title have been included. Where possible, links have been included to the standard/guideline.

● It is acceptable to add the full text of the criteria into the cell if desired to help with understanding.

● The links to the standards/guidelines can be removed.

● Ordering of Tables: The order that the standard and guideline tables appear may be changed to facilitate reading. The current order is WCAG then Section 508. You can change this order to insert the WCAG criteria into the Section 508 tables.

● Guideline Section Heading Rows in Tables: The tables include heading rows to facilitate understanding the context of the criteria.

● The cells in these rows do not require answers as indicated by “Heading cell – no response required.”

● It is optional to add a response if desired.

● The shading of the row is also optional.

● If removing the heading rows, edit the criteria titles so it’s clear where they apply.

Posting the Final Document

● When publishing your Accessibility Conformance Report, be sure to remove the entire first 10 pages of this document, including the table of contents, introductory information and instructions.

● Check for each required item in the VPAT® document:

● [Company Name] Accessibility Conformance Report (report title)

● (Based on VPAT® Version 2.5Rev)

● Name of Product/Version

● Report Date

● Product Description

● Contact Information

● Notes

● Evaluation Methods Used

● Applicable Standards/Guidelines

● Terms

● Tables for Each Standard or Guideline

▪ Check that there is a response for each criterion for ‘Conformance

Level’ and ‘Remarks and Explanations.’

● Verify that the final document is accessible.

● Post your final document on your company’s web site, or make the document available to customers upon request.

Table Information for VPAT® Readers For each of the standards, the criteria are listed by chapter in a table. The structures of the tables are:

• The first column contains the criteria being evaluated, the second column describes the level of conformance of the product regarding the criteria and the third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.

● When sections of criteria do not apply, or are deemed by the customer as not applicable, the section is noted as such and the rest of that table may be removed for that section.

● When multiple standards are being recorded in this document, the duplicative sections are noted and responded to only one time. The duplicate entry will note the cross reference to the data.
