With over 50% of government and enterprise buyers requesting them, well-documented compliance can be the key to securing contracts. Inaccurate or incomplete documentation not only hinders credibility but also increases legal and reputational risks—yet many organizations lack the expertise to create these reports effectively.

Key Areas of Focus:

A

Accuracy

Analysis

Frequently Asked Questions

VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a standardized form used to document how a product meets accessibility standards. An ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) is the completed version of a VPAT that outlines your product’s compliance status based on testing and evaluation.

VPATs and ACRs are often required in procurement, especially by government and enterprise buyers. They provide transparency about your product’s accessibility and can be a deciding factor in winning contracts or entering new markets.

It’s recommended to update VPATs and ACRs whenever there are significant product changes, updates to relevant accessibility standards, or at least annually to ensure the information remains accurate and credible.
