We’re adding documentation storage to Accessibility Tracker so that everyone can house their accessibility and compliance documents in a convenient, centralized location.
Not only do Accessibility Tracker progress reports directly contribute to the documentation, but now you can upload and store other related documents. We specifically had the European Accessibility Act (EAA) in mind when creating our document storage component, but obviously this can help with compliance with other laws and regulations.
Examples of documents to store:
- VPATs/ACRs
- Accessibility Policy
- Accessibility Statement
- Accessibility Audits
- User Testing Attestation
- Certification
- Contracts
- Meeting Minutes
Not only can you house your documentation, but we’ve created 5 folders so you can keep everything organized into separate silos.
Here are the folders:
Statements
This folder houses all your public-facing accessibility documentation. Store your EAA Accessibility Statements, voluntary accessibility statements, and any member state-specific statements required for multi-jurisdictional operations. These are the documents your users see and that monitoring authorities will review first.
Accessibility
Your proof of accessibility lives here. Upload VPATs/ACRs, certification, conformance statements, accessibility audit reports, user testing reports, and monthly progress reports. This folder demonstrates how you meet accessibility requirements and supports the claims made in your public statements.
Planning
Store your accessibility plans, remediation timelines, implementation plans, accessibility policies, meeting minutes, and decision records. This folder shows your systematic approach to accessibility and provides the plan that EAA regulations emphasize as crucial for demonstrating ongoing commitment to compliance.
Contracts
House vendor contracts with accessibility clauses, third-party compliance certificates, procurement due diligence reports, fundamental alteration assessments, and disproportionate burden evaluations. This folder manages the complex relationships and special circumstances that can affect your overall compliance status.
Compliance
Keep all communications with monitoring authorities, user complaints and responses, enforcement documentation, implementation verification reports, and continuous monitoring logs. This folder tracks your ongoing relationship with regulators and provides evidence of how you handle compliance issues as they arise.
