Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5)
A WCAG 2.2 A and AA conformance report in the VPAT 2.5 layout, filled in from your checks, manual tests and test sessions, ready to review and export.
Updated for Lumtera 1.2.2 and Lumtera Pro 1.1.1.
Overview
The conformance report opens from Lumtera → Reports, where the Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5) card has an Open conformance report button. It drafts an Accessibility Conformance Report in the layout of the VPAT 2.5 WCAG edition, with one row for each of the 55 WCAG 2.2 level A and AA success criteria, filled in from the results already stored on your site. There is one report per site, and it always reflects your current results.
Each row gets a conformance level from the evidence. A definite failure, meaning an automated error or a failed manual check, makes it Partially Supports when some checked pages are clean, and Does Not Support when every page checked failed. Supports needs a passed manual check, no failures, and no automated finding still waiting for review; with a finding to review and no failure, the row stays Not Evaluated and its remarks say why. Not Applicable needs manual checks that found the criterion does not apply, with nothing left to review. Clean automated results alone stay Not Evaluated.
Product information sets the Name of product, Version, Product description, Contact information, Evaluated by, Other evaluation methods and Notes, starting from your site name and branding. In Table 1 and Table 2, each row's Conformance level starts on Automatic and can be set by hand, and the remarks can be rewritten; changed rows are marked Edited. Click Save report, then View and print, Download HTML or Download CSV.
Why does it matter?
Public-sector buyers and larger clients ask for an Accessibility Conformance Report before they sign. Writing one by hand from scattered test notes takes days, and a report that claims more than the evidence shows is a liability.
What do you get?
- Every WCAG 2.2 A and AA criterion as a row: Supports, Partially Supports, Does Not Support, Not Applicable or Not Evaluated.
- Filled from evidence only: failures lower a row, and clean automated results alone stay "Not Evaluated".
- "Supports" needs a passed manual check, no automated or manual failure, and no automated finding still waiting for review.
- Form tests, signed-in checks and signed-off test sessions count as evidence.
- Override any row's level and remarks, then print it or download it as HTML or CSV.
How does it work?
-
Run your checks
Scan the site, record guided manual checks and sign off test sessions.
-
Open the conformance report
From Lumtera → Reports, review each row and add remarks.
-
Export
Print it, or download it as HTML or CSV.
Who is it for?
-
Agencies answering procurement
Start the report a public-sector or enterprise buyer asks for from real results, then complete it with your own testing before it goes out.
-
Teams filling in vendor questionnaires
A structured draft shows which criteria already have evidence behind them and which still need testing, instead of a blank template.
-
Planning the next round of testing
The Not Evaluated rows show where manual testing is missing, so you know which test sessions to run next.
Good to know
How it behaves, what it needs, and where its limits are.
- Plans and access
- Included in every Pro plan, Personal included, with an active license. Opening it needs the See reports and check the site permission, which editors and administrators have by default; editing it needs Manage client reports, which administrators have and can give to other roles under Lumtera → Settings → Permissions.
- Where the evidence comes from
- Stored scans of published content; live page checks of public pages, including signed-in checks, each counted as its own page; form tests for the criteria they cover; guided manual checks on published content; and signed-off test sessions, cited in the remarks with the tester, assistive technology and date. Drafts and private posts do not count.
- A person must review it
- Lumtera cannot decide conformance. One passed manual check with no failures and nothing left to review is enough for Supports, so test the pages that represent the site, and have someone who knows it read every row before the report is shared.
- What the report contains
- A cover, product information, the evaluation methods used with how many pages each covered, the standards included, the terms, a summary count, Tables 1 and 2, a Table 3 note that level AAA was not evaluated, and an About this report section saying it is not a certification. Revised Section 508 and EN 301 549 tables are not included.
- Branding and export
- The report uses your branding accent color, logo and footer, and ends with a Lumtera credit unless white-label is on. Save as PDF in Chrome or Edge gives a tagged PDF, and the CSV has one row per criterion.
Questions
Something else on your mind? Contact support
Is it a certification?
No. An ACR documents how the site conformed as it was evaluated. Lumtera never marks a criterion as supported without a passed manual check.
Why are so many rows Not Evaluated?
Because clean automated results cannot prove conformance, and a finding nobody has reviewed could be a failure. Review those findings, record manual checks or test sessions, or set the level yourself with an explanation.
Does the report change after I fix things?
Yes. Automatic levels and remarks follow your current results each time you open or export the report. Levels and remarks you set by hand stay as you left them; choose Automatic or clear the remark to follow the data again.
