Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)
The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) is a standardized document developed by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) in partnership with the U.S. government. It enables vendors and organizations to document how well their Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products—such as websites, software, mobile apps, and electronic devices—conform to major accessibility standards like WCAG, Section 508, and EN 301 549.
A VPAT acts as a structured checklist to evaluate a product’s accessibility, addressing criteria such as screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, color contrast, and more. Each requirement is marked as Fully Supported, Partially Supported, or Not Supported, with detailed justifications included for transparency and compliance assurance.
We support organizations by delivering clear, accurate VPAT accessibility conformance reports tailored to the latest VPAT 2.5 specifications. Our process ensures alignment with updated standards, including expanded sections and precise documentation across all applicable criteria.
At Skynet Technologies, we work closely with your team to assess accessibility thoroughly and report conformance in a way that meets internal compliance goals and satisfies procurement requirements. Whether your audience includes federal agencies, enterprise clients, or accessibility-conscious partners, our VPAT services help demonstrate your commitment to digital inclusivity.
Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)
An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is a document that provides a summary of the level of accessibility compliance achieved by a digital asset, such as a website, application, or document. The ACR typically includes information on the accessibility features implemented, any barriers or issues identified, and the steps taken to address them.
The ACR provides a detailed assessment of an asset’s compliance with various accessibility criteria. It is closely related to the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). When a VPAT is completed, it will be considered an Accessibility Conformance Report. For public or commercial organizations, an ACR serves as a common format for documenting the accessibility of digital assets.
