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

Page 1 of 27
Please carefully review the Essential Requirements and Best Practices sections before
using the VPAT to create an Accessibility Conformance Report.

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

3. 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 necessary

Page 3 of 27
 Report Date – Date of report publication. At a minimum, provide the month
and year of the report publication. For example, “May 2016”. If date is
included, ensure it is clear “4 May 2016” or “May 4, 2016”.
 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.
 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
deviates from the ITI definitions, the vendor shall reference this change in the

Page 4 of 27
heading Notes section. If a term is not used it can be removed from the list.
The ITI definitions are: This can only be used in WCAG 2.x Level AAA
 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.
4. 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.
5. Remarks and Explanations – Detailed remarks should be provided in the
Remarks and Explanations column to justify your answer in the Conformance
Level column.
 When the conformance level is ‘Partially Supports’ or ‘Does Not Support’, the
remarks should identify:

Page 5 of 27
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.
6. 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 – Information to enter may include the following:
 Testing is based on 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)

Page 6 of 27
 Similar to another evaluated product
 Testing with assistive technologies
 Published test method (provide name, publisher, URL link)
 Vendor proprietary test method
 Other 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 four 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 the 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.

Page 7 of 27
 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 9 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 2.5)
 Name of Product/Version
 Report Date

Page 8 of 27
 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.
