Your Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT® 2.2)
A VPAT documents exactly how your product conforms to WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2, Section 508 and EN 301549. EqualWeb's certified experts evaluate your site and prepare the report procurement teams, RFPs and government buyers ask for.
When buyers ask "are you accessible?", show them
A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the standard way to prove conformance. It's increasingly required to win deals.
Procurement & RFPs
Enterprise and public-sector buyers request a VPAT before they'll sign. No report often means no deal.
Section 508 & government
US federal agencies require an Accessibility Conformance Report for ICT procurement under Section 508.
Enterprise trust
A documented, expert-prepared report signals real accountability - not a checkbox exercise.
