This webpage contains detailed accessibility requirements for our IT vendor partners. 作为一所公立高等教育机构, 加州大学洛杉矶分校 is committed to implementing the most accessible Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) products and services. We must apply Federal Section 508 accessibility standards and abide by state and CSU policy for all such ITC acquisitions.
All products can be corrected or improved over time via re-programming or manufacturing changes. Vendors should be aware that the CSU is serious about accessibility, and products achieving superior accessibility will be preferred in the procurement process. 许多供应商就是这么做的.
提供一个完整的VPAT
VPATs are not subject to copyright laws and are not legally binding documents. A VPAT does not contain or disclose proprietary information; instead, quality VPATs will faithfully represent a product's current accessibility conformance, 可访问还是不可访问.
The current accessibility conformance of any product is readily available to anyone accessing a product's interface. As such, 加州大学洛杉矶分校 will not sign vendor NDAs to receive accessibility conformance documentation.
也, vendors should keep their VPAT current and update it at least annually; VPAT updates should always coincide with product updates. 每次更新时, we will request updated accessibility conformance documentation from the vendor.
The California State University System, and subsequently, 加州大学洛杉矶分校, adheres to the WCAG 2.0 AA standard (NOTE: Section 508 standards aligned with the WCAG standards at the last refresh, 生效日期为1月18日, 2018). 供应商可能 obtain the latest 508 specific VPAT template from the Information Technology Industry Council.
We require that vendors complete the following sections of the VPAT for 每一个 product at a minimum.
- VPAT Title page: Name and product version(s), date, contact information, and evaluation methods used
- 表1:A级成功标准
- 表2:成功标准，AA级
- 第三章:功能表现准则
- 第五章:软件
- 第6章:支持文件和服务
NOTE: A complete VPAT provides answers for 每一个 Criterion and the selected Conformance Level, with Remarks and Explanations to support the chosen level of conformance for 每一个 of your product's unique interface or platforms; web, mobile, etc..:
提供无障碍声明
If your product has significant accessibility barriers that may preclude some users from performing the product's core functions, then you should note those barriers in an accessibility statement.
The purpose of an accessibility statement is to reveal to the end user known accessibility barriers that exist in your product's interface. When vendors are transparent about unresolved accessibility barriers, affected end-users may be able to work around those issues, 或者至少是, 他们可以确定错误的原因. 可访问性 statements may significantly reduce frustration for individuals that require facilitated access.
可访问性 statements should not include aspirational declarations about accessibility standards; these are useless to the end user. A link to a product's accessibility statement should be posted in a conspicuous place within your product, preferably a persistent link accessible anywhere within a product's interface. Include contact methods for the end-user to inquire about specific issues they have experienced within the body of the accessibility statement.
提供可访问性路线图
An accessibility roadmap provides the expected vendor timelines to correct accessibility barriers present in a product. Essential components of an accessibility roadmap should include the following:
- 无障碍障碍的描述
- The current development status to repair the barrier; planned, deferred, etc.
- 完成时间
- 现有的解决方法
The CSU 无障碍科技倡议(ATI) provides an 供应商的可访问性路线图模板.
进行产品易访问性演示
Once we have had a chance to review your VPAT or other accessibility conformance documentation, we may ask you to demonstrate your product's functionality. We recommend that the person(s) conducting the demonstration are familiar with accessibility features, including a working knowledge of NVDA or JAWS screen reading software.
