  2. WHAT IS VPAT? VPAT Certification refers to the process of evaluating and documenting the accessibility of a digital product, such as software, websites, or electronic content, using a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). This document assesses how well the product complies with various accessibility standards, most notably Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (in the U.S.) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). In summary, VPAT certification is a critical step for organizations looking to ensure that their digital products are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, and it is particularly important for those seeking to engage in public sector contracts or wanting to demonstrate their commitment to accessibility.

  3. IMPORTANCE OF VPAT CERTIFICATION ENSURES ACCESSIBILITY COMPLIANCE VPAT Certification ensures that a product meets essential accessibility standards such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), and EN 301 549. This compliance is vital for creating accessible digital products that can be used by individuals with disabilities. LEGAL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE In the United States, VPAT Certification is often a requirement for doing business with federal agencies. Products that fail to comply with accessibility standards may be disqualified from government contracts. MARKET ACCESS AND COMPETITIVENESS Many public sector and government agencies require VPAT Certification before they can purchase software or digital products. Without this certification, companies may miss out on significant business opportunities.
