Conformance report (VPAT/ACR)
A complete WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA accessibility conformance report in which every criterion is honestly marked Not Evaluated.
What we guarantee
This is the artefact procurement asks for: an Accessibility Conformance Report, in the shape a VPAT produces, covering WCAG 2.2 at Levels A and AA.
Every row still says Not Evaluated. That is deliberate, and it no longer
means what it meant a month ago. An ACR records an independent conformance
evaluation, and none has been performed. What has happened is separate and real:
all sixty components in registry/bases/base/ were audited against WCAG 2.2 AA,
in a static source pass and a rendered pass against the live /view page, and
the findings were fixed in the same change. That audit was run by the authors of
the components, so it is not an independent review, and it did not look at this
documentation site. Read
ADR 0025 for what the
audit was and what it was not. The table is published complete anyway, for three
reasons: it tells a reviewer exactly what will be reported when an independent
evaluation runs; it makes the shape of that future claim auditable now; and an
empty page would have let a reader assume the absence was an oversight rather
than the finding.
Report date: 2 September 2026. Product: opsinjs design system and documentation site. Standard: WCAG 2.2, Levels A and AA. WCAG 2.2 became a W3C Recommendation in October 2023; note that SC 4.1.1 Parsing was removed in it and therefore does not appear below. Author-run audit performed: WCAG 2.2 AA, a static source pass and a rendered pass, findings fixed, run by the component authors against the sixty catalogue components. This is a floor raised, not an ACR. Independent evaluation methods used: none. Independent evaluator: none. Clinical review: pending. Nothing here is for a production health surface until a clinician signs it.
A conformance level is not claimed. Under the usual VPAT conventions a product may only claim a level when every criterion at that level is marked Supports or Not Applicable. Nothing here is marked either, because an author auditing their own work is not the independent assessment a conformance level rests on. The author-run audit raises the floor; it does not sign the report.
What you own
Your own report. This one covers the design system; it cannot be reused for a product built with it, because conformance is a property of what ships to the reader. When you write yours:
- Fill the remarks column, not the conformance column. "Supports" with no remark is unevaluable. A reviewer reads the remarks.
- Name the evaluation method and date per row group, not once at the top.
- Report partial support as Partially Supports with the specific failure, not as Supports with a caveat elsewhere.
- Do not copy this table's verdicts. They are all Not Evaluated and copying them into a product report would be false in the other direction. An author-run audit is a floor the authors reached, not a conformance claim you can inherit.
How to check
Read the remarks column first
The conformance column of any ACR is marketing until the remarks make it falsifiable. In this report every remark says whether the author-run audit has covered the criterion and points at the page that carries or will carry the evidence.
Check the criterion count
WCAG 2.2 Level A and AA together have 55 success criteria, once 4.1.1 Parsing is removed. A report with fewer rows has dropped something.
Check for the 2.2 additions
SC 2.4.11, 2.5.7, 2.5.8, 3.2.6, 3.3.7 and 3.3.8 are the criteria added in WCAG 2.2. A report that omits them is a WCAG 2.1 report wearing a 2.2 label.
Ask for the underlying evidence
For any row that says Supports, ask what was tested, with what, by whom and when. If that cannot be answered, the row is unsupported. An author-run audit answers "by whom" with the authors, which is why the verdict here stays Not Evaluated.
Measured results
Every component-level criterion below has now had an author-run WCAG 2.2 AA audit, and its remark says so. The conformance verdict stays Not Evaluated because that column records an independent evaluation, which has not happened. Criteria that name the documentation site or a media type the system does not use were outside the author-run audit and say why.
WCAG 2.2 Level A

Known gaps
- No independent conformance evaluation has been performed. The author-run WCAG 2.2 AA audit raised the floor, but an ACR is an assessment somebody independent signs, and none has been commissioned. Every verdict above stays Not Evaluated until one runs.
- No clinical review has been performed. Clinical review is pending for every component, so nothing here is for a production health surface until a clinician signs it.
- Level AAA is not reported at all, even though the system adopts the AAA target-size figure from SC 2.5.5 as its floor. Adopting one AAA criterion is not a AAA claim.
- EN 301 549 and Section 508 mappings are not included. Both map largely onto WCAG 2.x, but the non-web and functional-performance clauses of EN 301 549 are not addressed here.
- There is no machine-readable form of this report. It should be emitted as JSON alongside the other generated artefacts, and it is not.
Emit this report from a data file rather than authoring the table by hand, so
that a criterion cannot be dropped silently and so that a machine-readable
version is available at /r.
