The Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (or VPAT®) is the industry standard format for documenting accessibility conformance of information and communications technology (ICT) products and services. The VPAT report format was developed by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) and is offered free-of-charge for businesses and organizations looking to document accessibility conformance of their products.
There are four versions of the Voluntary Product Accessibility template:
- VPAT 2.4 Rev 508: Revised Section 508 standards
- VPAT 2.4 Rev EU: EN 301 549
- VPAT 2.4 Rev WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 / WCAG 2.1)
- VPAT 2.4 INT: Incorporates all three of the above standards.
Voluntary Product Accessibility templates for Section 508 & WCAG conformance are available for download on the ITI website: https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat .
