What is VPAT Compliance Testing
VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) compliance testing is the process of evaluating your digital product or platform to assess how it meets established accessibility standards, such as WCAG 2.1, Section 508, and other local laws like AODA. The results are documented in a VPAT, which is often required in government procurement, contract bids, or organizational accessibility commitments.
For businesses operating in Canada, especially those bidding for federal contracts or working with public agencies, VPAT compliance testing services offer transparency and assurance that your digital assets are inclusive and legally aligned.
Who Needs VPAT Compliance Testing Services?
VPAT compliance testing is essential for:
- Businesses offering digital products such as SaaS platforms, websites, or apps
- Government agencies evaluating their own internal or public-facing digital systems
- Organizations selling to public sector clients that require accessibility documentation
- Technology vendors and service providers responding to RFPs or procurement guidelines
- Educational institutions or healthcare providers with public-facing or internal platforms
If your product is digital and intended for public, employee, or government use, you likely need a VPAT.
