VPATs and Accessibility Conformance Reports
VPATs and ACRs help buyers understand how a product conforms to accessibility standards such as WCAG, Section 508, and EN 301 549.
Short Answer
A VPAT is the template used to create an Accessibility Conformance Report. An ACR should be based on testing evidence, not just an automated scan.
What an ACR is
The Accessibility Conformance Report is the completed document that explains support levels, remarks, exceptions, and testing scope.
Where this scanner helps
AccessibilityScore.in can provide early technical findings that inform remediation before a formal VPAT or ACR review.
Common Questions
Can I create a VPAT from an automated scan?
No. A scan can support remediation, but a credible VPAT or ACR needs manual review and clear testing scope.
Who needs an ACR?
Software vendors, SaaS providers, public-sector suppliers, and enterprise teams often need ACRs for procurement and risk review.
