The Information Technology Industry Council VPAT® tool simplifies the accessibility assessment of products and services. VPAT® 1.0 relates to the (1998) Section 508 standards. VPAT® 2.1 uses the United States Access Board Section 508 Refresh, WCAG 2.0 Guidelines, and Standard - EN 301 549.
The most accurate and reliable VPATs are created by companies that specialize in evaluating the accessibility of products. A skilled accessibility review company will include an automated evaluation, a manual evaluation and an evaluation by a person(s) with a disability. Most vendors do no employ a skilled accessibility analyst.
Templates (linked below) are available to provide to a vendor that may not be familiar with the VPAT® tool.
