VPAT and Accessibility Conformance Report for software vendors

Schools, universities and government buyers often ask a software vendor for a VPAT before they will sign. What they want is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR): a VPAT template filled in, criterion by criterion, from a real evaluation of your product. We evaluate the web interface of your product against WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA and write the report from what we find.

What you get, for $1,100

  • A Standard accessibility audit ($750) of up to 10 screens or pages of your web application, plus your most important task end to end by keyboard (for example: sign in, create a record, submit a form).
  • An Accessibility Conformance Report on the VPAT 2.5 WCAG template ($350): every WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criterion with a conformance level (Supports, Partially Supports, Does Not Support or Not Applicable) and a remark saying what we found, plus the methods, the screens tested and the date.
  • A written audit report with the fix for each issue, so your developers can close the gaps.
  • One re-test within 60 days after your fixes, and an updated report if the re-test changes a result.

Audit report in 5 business days from receiving a test account, and the conformance report 2 business days after that.

How we test

  • An automated WCAG 2.2 AA scan of every screen at mobile and desktop widths, using our Remedy engine and axe-core.
  • Keyboard-only testing of every flow: focus order, focus traps in dialogs and menus, skip links and visible focus.
  • Expert review of the markup and the accessibility tree behind each screen, for the criteria a scan cannot judge.

What we do not claim

  • This evaluation does not include screen-reader testing, and the report says so.
  • The report records what our testing found on a date. It is not a certification. We are not IAAP certified, and we state no legal conclusion.
  • We write the WCAG edition of the VPAT. We do not write the Section 508 or EN 301 549 editions, and we do not evaluate native mobile or desktop apps, documents or hardware.

  1. Add the Standard audit and the conformance report to the same order. In the "Store URL" field, enter the web address of your product. Leave "Theme name" blank.
