Check WCAG Conformance in Any VPAT.

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the international standard for digital accessibility, published by the W3C. WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the basis for Section 508, the EU Web Accessibility Directive, and most national accessibility regulations. Evaluating WCAG conformance in vendor VPATs is essential for compliant procurement.

Level A is the minimum accessibility requirement. Level AA is the standard required by Section 508, the EU Web Accessibility Directive, and most regulations. Level AAA is the highest level and is not required in most regulatory contexts. VPAT Score evaluates Level A and AA criteria.

Yes — a VPAT is a self-declaration. Vendors can claim full WCAG conformance without independent verification. That is exactly why rigorous VPAT analysis matters: it evaluates the quality and credibility of those claims, and flags where the vendor's own language signals uncertainty.

VPAT Score accepts PDF and Word (.docx) files. Both are parsed automatically — no conversion needed before uploading.

Each WCAG criterion carries an impact multiplier based on real-world user impact. Criteria marked "Does Not Support" or "Not Applicable" are weighted accordingly. The final score produces a letter grade (A through F) and a separate weighted risk rating (Low, Moderate, High, or Critical).
