ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES
Prepare conformance reports with defensible evidence.
Testing and documentation support for Accessibility Conformance Reports using the VPAT® template, with clear scope, remarks and limitations.
The problem this solves
Procurement teams often need conformance information, not marketing claims. A useful ACR states scope, standards, criteria, support level, remarks and known limitations clearly.

FAQ
Is a VPAT a certification?
No. VPAT® is a registered template from ITI. The completed document is an ACR and it is not a certification.
Can you write the whole ACR?
We can support the technical evaluation and report preparation, but final publication decisions remain with the organization.
Which edition should we use?
That depends on procurement requirements and product market. We confirm the expected standard during scoping.
