ACR

An Accessibility Conformance Report, a completed VPAT that says how a specific product does against the standard.

Also called
Accessibility Conformance Report

An Accessibility Conformance Report is the document a buyer actually reads: a VPAT template filled in for a specific product and version, saying for each success criterion whether the product supports it, partially supports it, or does not, with notes on the gaps. ITI, which maintains the template, defines an ACR as a version of the VPAT completed for a specific product.

Procurement teams at U.S. federal agencies, universities, hospitals, and large companies ask for one before they buy software, and European buyers ask for one against EN 301 549. An honest ACR that lists known gaps and a plan to close them is more useful, and more credible, than one that claims everything is supported. It needs to say who tested, how, and when.
