VPAT® Audit & ACR Report Services

A VPAT® is the blank template published by ITI. Once the template is completed after evaluation, the finished document is called an Accessibility Conformance Report, or ACR.

No. There is no official VPAT certification or pass/fail status. A completed ACR documents how a product supports applicable accessibility criteria based on evaluation.

The right edition depends on your procurement market. WCAG is common for commercial products, Section 508 for U.S. federal procurement, EU for EN 301 549, and International for multiple markets.

Most VPAT quote requests are scoped and priced within 1 to 2 business days. Delivery then depends on product size, platforms, user journeys and whether issues need fixing before the report is final. A focused SaaS web app can be done in about a week: we delivered Happeo’s ACR between April 16 and 23. If you have an RFP deadline, put it in your VPAT quote request.

We do not recommend completing an ACR without evidence. Accurate documentation should be supported by accessibility testing, product review, and clear evaluation methods.

Yes. Depending on scope, we test with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack, keyboard navigation, and other relevant methods.

Yes. We can review an existing ACR, retest the product, update conformance remarks, and document changes since the last evaluation.

An ACR should be updated after meaningful product changes, major releases, remediation work, expanded scope, or when buyers request current documentation.

Many enterprise customers request VPAT® or ACR documentation during procurement, vendor review, RFP responses, or accessibility questionnaires.

Yes. We prepare ACR documentation for SaaS platforms, web applications, dashboards, admin systems, account settings, and authenticated user journeys.

Yes. We support Section 508 and procurement-focused accessibility documentation for vendors selling to U.S. federal, public sector, and government-related buyers. EdTech vendors selling to public schools and universities are increasingly asked for a current ACR, because the ADA Title II rule covers web content and apps those institutions provide through contracts and licenses; see our EdTech education accessibility audits.

Yes. We can evaluate iOS, Android, hybrid apps, React Native, Flutter, and mobile user journeys for ACR documentation.

Yes. If testing identifies issues, we can help remediate or advise your team before finalizing an updated ACR.

Common terms include Supports, Partially Supports, Does Not Support, and Not Applicable. Each should be supported by meaningful remarks.

Yes. We can help teams answer buyer questions about testing scope, assistive technologies, product limitations, known issues, and remediation plans.

An ACR typically includes product name, version, report date, contact information, evaluation methods, standards tested, and conformance tables.

Depending on the VPAT® edition, reporting can include WCAG, Section 508, EN 301 549, or a combination of standards.

Yes. Transparent remarks and known limitations help procurement teams understand product status and planned improvements.

Yes. We can prepare documentation for websites, web apps, SaaS products, mobile apps, desktop software, documents, and digital platforms.

Yes. We can evaluate authenticated applications when test credentials, representative workflows, and scoped user roles are provided.

Yes. We can provide supporting audit findings, executive summaries, remediation notes, and retest documentation where needed.

Yes. We can walk through the report with legal, compliance, product, engineering, sales, procurement, or leadership teams.

Yes. VPAT® is a registered service mark of the Information Technology Industry Council. The completed document is an Accessibility Conformance Report.

Yes. The scope can include web, mobile, desktop, document, or multi-platform experiences, with clear notes about what was evaluated.

Send your product URL or access details, target buyers, required VPAT® edition, product version, platforms, key workflows and deadline through the VPAT quote request form. We recommend a scope and timeline, usually within 1 to 2 business days. Prefer to talk first? Book a free 30-minute call to scope the work, or the $100 technical consultation for a hands-on session with your developers.

Every VPAT/ACR is quoted after a short scoping review, because the effort depends on how many screens, user journeys and platforms are in scope, which edition you need (508, EU, WCAG or INT) and whether the product needs an audit and fixes first. Our audits are fixed-price: a $500 Quick Accessibility Audit covers up to 5 page templates and a $2,000 Complete Accessibility Audit covers up to 25 templates or key user flows. ACR documentation is quoted on top. Send a VPAT quote request for a written price, or see our accessibility audit pricing.

No law requires the VPAT form itself, but buyers often make an ACR a condition of purchase. Section 508 requires US federal agencies to buy accessible technology, and Section508.gov procurement guidance tells agencies to require a complete ACR for each standard ICT item before award. Under the ADA Title II web rule, state and local governments, including public universities, must make web content and apps meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027 (50,000+ people) or April 26, 2028 (smaller entities), including content their contractors provide, so they ask vendors for ACRs too.

VPAT 2.5Rev, published by the Information Technology Industry Council on April 24, 2025. It comes in four editions: 508 (Revised Section 508 Standards, WCAG 2.0), EU (EN 301 549, WCAG 2.1), WCAG (WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2) and INT (all three). The template is free from ITI. If your ACR is on an older template, we move it to 2.5Rev when we retest.

Yes. ITI offers the VPAT free of charge and anyone can complete it. The risk is credibility: federal guidance also asks vendors to describe the evaluation methods behind an ACR, and enterprise buyers increasingly ask who tested the product and how. An ACR based on documented manual testing holds up better in procurement review. We can also review a self-completed ACR and retest its claims through our accessibility audit services.

The WCAG and INT editions of VPAT 2.5Rev include WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA criteria (and AAA if you want them). The 508 edition reports against WCAG 2.0, because that is what the Revised Section 508 Standards incorporate, and the EU edition follows EN 301 549, which incorporates WCAG 2.1. We test to WCAG 2.2 AA in every engagement, so the evidence covers whichever edition your buyers ask for.

Every ACR is led by our founder, Mohammad Shadab Saifi, who holds the IAAP CPACC, WAS and CPWA credentials and is a DHS Section 508 Trusted Tester, with 10+ years of accessibility experience. See our VPAT work for Happeo and a SaaS audit-to-ACR engagement.

Book the free 30-minute call if this is your first conversation with us: we learn about your product, buyers and deadline, explain which VPAT edition fits and scope a fixed-price quote. Book the $100 one-hour consultation when your team needs a hands-on technical session, such as walking through an existing ACR or audit findings, talking with your developers, or reviewing product issues live.

Yes. AccessibilityScore.in is our free WCAG scan, powered by HalfAccessible and axe-core. It scans one public page and shows common issues with severity, WCAG mapping and fix guidance. Treat it as a starting point only: an ACR needs manual testing of keyboard access, focus order, screen reader output and logged-in workflows, which automated checks cannot confirm.
