VPAT / ACR Report
Navable turns your audit data into a procurement-ready Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) — the document produced from a VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template). Buyers, especially in the public sector, often require an ACR to confirm how well your product meets accessibility standards.
Navable assembles the report from your audit results — both automated scans and your manual audit verdicts — so the conformance claims reflect the work you have already done.
Navigate to VPAT / ACR Report in the sidebar under the Tools section.
VPAT / ACR generation requires an Enterprise subscription.
A generated ACR is a starting point based on your audit data. Review it — and where needed, have it checked by a qualified accessibility professional — before sending it to a customer or procurement team.
How It Works
Generating a report is a two-step process:
- Configure the report — choose the standard it should be measured against and fill in the product and vendor details.
- Generate the report — Navable produces a downloadable PDF from your latest audit data.
Configuring the Report
Standard and Format
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Edition | The conformance standard the report is written against (see below). |
| WCAG version | The WCAG version to evaluate against. Each edition seeds a recommended version, which you can override. |
| Report language | The language of the generated document — English or German. |
The available editions and their recommended WCAG version are:
| Edition | Typical use | Recommended WCAG version |
|---|---|---|
| WCAG | General WCAG conformance claim | 2.2 |
| EU (EN 301 549) | European public procurement | 2.1 |
| Section 508 | United States federal procurement | 2.0 |
| International | Combined international conformance claim | 2.2 |
Audited Domains
Under Audited domains, select the URL collections the report covers. You must select at least one. The report's conformance findings are drawn from the audit data of the domains you choose.
Product and Vendor Details
These details appear on the cover and header of the generated report. The following are required:
- Product name
- Vendor legal name
- Contact email
- Report date
The following are optional and included when provided:
- Product version, Product type, Vendor brand name, and Product description
- Assessment from / Assessment to — the date range your assessment covers
- In scope / Out of scope — what the report does and does not cover
- Notes — any additional remarks
Click Save configuration to store these settings.
Generating and Downloading
Once the report is configured, use the status bar at the top of the page:
- Generate report — Builds the PDF from your current audit data.
- Download PDF — Appears after a report has been generated; downloads the latest document.
The status reflects the report's current state:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | Configured but no document generated yet. |
| Generated | A current PDF is available to download. |
| Out of date | New audit data is available since the last document was generated — regenerate to refresh it. |
When the status is Out of date, use Regenerate to rebuild the report with the latest audit results.
Next Steps
- Manual Audit — record human assessments to strengthen the conformance claims in your report.
- Audit Results — review the automated findings that feed the report.
