It's time for your global VPAT

VPAT compliance in the era of EAA

The live webinar has concluded. The recording is now available.

VPATs are having a moment. With the EAA reshaping compliance expectations, organizations are facing new pressure from both regulators and customers to document and prove their accessibility conformance.

Determining your company’s obligations means understanding the journey from audits and strategy to remediation and reporting (including VPATs). If you haven't revisited your VPAT strategy lately, now is the time, including whether you need a VPAT for EN 301 549, the harmonized European standard.

In this webinar, you'll:
  • Review the basics:
    What is a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)? Why does it matter? What's the difference between a VPAT and an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR)? What is VPAT 2.5 INT?
  • Understand your obligations:
    Why do global organizations need to incorporate a VPAT for EN 301 549? What other types of VPAT should your organization have? How often should you update your VPAT?
  • Develop your strategy:
    How do you determine the right standard, the right audit type, and the appropriate reporting approach?

You'll leave with an actionable plan to determine your compliance obligations, assess your current state, and identify the best reporting approach.
