What is a VPAT?

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template is the standard format for documenting how ICT products conform to accessibility standards. Required for federal procurement (Section 508) and increasingly demanded by enterprise buyers. No VPAT = No contract.

Procurement approved

Our previous VPAT was vague and caused problems in procurement. Compliable's version was thorough with detailed remarks explaining our accessibility features. Night and day difference.

The remediation roadmap that came with our VPAT was invaluable. It helped us prioritize fixes that improved our conformance level from 'Partially Supports' to 'Supports' on critical criteria.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about VPATs

What is a VPAT and why do I need one?
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is a standardized document that explains how your product conforms to accessibility standards. It's required for selling to government agencies and increasingly requested by enterprise buyers evaluating accessibility compliance.
How is a VPAT different from an accessibility audit?
An accessibility audit identifies issues and provides remediation guidance. A VPAT is a formal document that reports conformance levels against specific standards in a format procurement officers recognize. You typically need an audit (or evaluation) to create an accurate VPAT.
Which VPAT edition do I need?
It depends on your target customers. For U.S. federal government: 508 Edition. For EU public sector: EU Edition. For private sector or general use: WCAG Edition. For global markets: INT Edition. We can advise based on your specific procurement requirements.
How long is a VPAT valid?
There's no official expiration, but best practice is to update your VPAT whenever you release significant product updates, or at least annually. Outdated VPATs can raise red flags with procurement officers.
Can I write my own VPAT?
Technically yes, but self-assessments are often viewed skeptically by procurement. Inaccurate VPATs can also create legal liability. Independent third-party VPATs from qualified assessors carry significantly more weight.
What if my product has accessibility issues?
An honest VPAT that acknowledges limitations with a remediation roadmap is far better than an inaccurate one claiming full compliance. We help you document current state accurately while providing a path to improve conformance levels.

Documentation that drives real accessibility

A VPAT isn't just paperwork—it's a commitment to accessibility. Our VPATs include remediation roadmaps that help you improve conformance levels over time. When you document accessibility honestly, you create accountability for making your product better for everyone.
