As part of Dell’s vendor onboarding process, Dell requests VPATs from Suppliers
A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) is a document that evaluates how accessible a product is according to the accessibility guidelines set forth by WCAG 2.1, Level AA. It is a self-disclosing document produced by the vendor or supplier that details how the product’s functionality supports accessibility requirements.
The completed template is an Accessibility Conformance Report, or ACR, and documents the level of conformance for a specific product or service. However, many people commonly refer to the ACR as the “VPAT” and this is an acceptable usage of the terms as they are interchangeable.
To learn more about completing a VPAT® and generating an ACR we recommend reviewing the
ITIC VPAT Training.
