The document is an International Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) version 2.5 report for the PageProof web‑based proofing platform, dated April 2026. It provides a product description, contact details for Gemma Rann and Marcus Radich, and outlines PageProof’s embedded accessibility testing and improvement process (automated tools such as Axe DevTools and Lighthouse, manual keyboard and screen‑reader testing, issue tracking in Jira, and continuous remediation). The report declares a commitment to WCAG 2.1/2.2 Level AA compliance and maps conformance across three major standards: WCAG 2.0/2.1/2.2, Revised Section 508, and EN 301 549. For each WCAG success criterion (Levels A and AA) the report records whether the product Supports, Partially Supports, or Does Not Support the criterion, and cross‑references the corresponding EN 301 549 clauses. It also includes functional performance statements from EN 301 549 (e.g., usage without vision, limited manipulation), hardware sections (not applicable), software interoperability criteria, and support‑service provisions. The narrative highlights areas of full support, partial support, ongoing remediation (e.g., keyboard navigation, focus order, text resizing), and notes that Level AAA criteria were not evaluated. The overall tone is formal and measured, presenting a transparent view of current accessibility status and a roadmap for future improvements.
