Accessibility Conformance Report

About this report

Name of product: Specset web application (app.specset.com)
Product version: Continuously delivered; this report describes the product as deployed on the report date.
Report date: September 1, 2026
Report version: 1.0
Product description: Specset is an AI-native construction document platform. Teams manage project specifications, drawings, submittals, RFIs, and closeout records; run AI-assisted document review; and search across all project documents from a single web application.
Contact information: support@specset.com
Evaluation methods used: Source-code audit of the application and its shared component library (August–September 2026); automated static analysis with WCAG-oriented lint rules enforced in continuous integration; manual keyboard-only testing and browser accessibility-tree inspection in Chromium; automated unit tests over accessibility behavior; screen-reader testing with VoiceOver (macOS) in Chrome across key workflows, including navigation, data grids, flyout panels, and the embedded PDF viewer (September 2026).
Notes: This report covers the Specset web application. Viewing and annotation of customer-uploaded PDF documents uses a third-party viewer component (Apryse WebViewer); its limitations are noted in the relevant criteria. Specset operates an active accessibility remediation program; items marked “remediation planned” are scheduled for upcoming releases, and this report will be reissued as they land.

Applicable standards and guidelines

This report covers the degree of conformance for the following accessibility standards and guidelines:

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0: Level A: Yes · Level AA: Yes · Level AAA: No
Revised Section 508 standards: Yes. The U.S. Federal accessibility standard, published January 18, 2017 and corrected January 22, 2018.

Terms

The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:

Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.
Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.
Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.
Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can only be used in WCAG Level AAA criteria.

WCAG 2.0 success criteria, Level A

The WCAG 2.0 tables also document conformance with the Revised Section 508 standards’ Chapter 5 (503.4 is not applicable to this product) and Chapter 6 as they apply to web content, per E205 and the WCAG2ICT approach.

Table 1: Success Criteria, Level A
Criteria	Conformance	Remarks and explanations
1.1.1 Non-text ContentLevel A	Partially Supports	Interface images, icons, and icon buttons have text alternatives, and required alternatives are enforced by automated checks in the build pipeline. Customer-uploaded PDF drawings and specifications render in the document viewer as graphical content whose text alternatives depend on the source document; Specset additionally extracts document text, which is available through search and the record views.
1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded)Level A	Not Applicable	The product contains no prerecorded audio-only or video-only media.
1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded)Level A	Not Applicable	The product contains no prerecorded synchronized media.
1.2.3 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded)Level A	Not Applicable	The product contains no prerecorded synchronized media.
1.3.1 Info and RelationshipsLevel A	Supports	Form controls are programmatically labeled with error messages associated to their fields; data tables expose grid semantics; pages are structured with landmarks and headings; composite widgets (tabs, comboboxes, trees, switches) expose their roles, states, and relationships.
1.3.2 Meaningful SequenceLevel A	Supports	Reading and focus order follow the visual order of the page.
1.3.3 Sensory CharacteristicsLevel A	Supports	Instructions do not rely solely on shape, size, location, or sound.
1.4.1 Use of ColorLevel A	Supports	Status and state information is conveyed with text labels and icons alongside color.
1.4.2 Audio ControlLevel A	Not Applicable	The product plays no audio.
2.1.1 KeyboardLevel A	Partially Supports	Core workflows are keyboard operable: navigation, global search, forms, list and record views, dialogs, comboboxes, and review workflows. Exceptions: in-cell editing in the spreadsheet-style estimate and measurement editors currently requires a pointer (the underlying data remains readable and exportable), and drawing-annotation tools in the document viewer are pointer-driven. Remediation planned.
2.1.2 No Keyboard TrapLevel A	Supports	Focus can always be moved away from any component using standard keys; dialogs and panels close with Escape and return focus.
2.2.1 Timing AdjustableLevel A	Supports	The product imposes no time limits on user tasks.
2.2.2 Pause, Stop, HideLevel A	Supports	The product has no auto-playing or auto-scrolling content; progress indicators are exempt, and streaming AI responses appear only in response to a user request and can be stopped.
2.3.1 Three Flashes or Below ThresholdLevel A	Supports	No content flashes.
2.4.1 Bypass BlocksLevel A	Supports	A “Skip to main content” link is the first focusable element, and pages are structured with navigation and main landmarks.
2.4.2 Page TitledLevel A	Supports	Pages have descriptive titles; in-application navigation updates the document title and announces the new page to assistive technology.
2.4.3 Focus OrderLevel A	Supports	Focus order preserves meaning and operability; opening a panel moves focus into it and closing restores focus.
2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context)Level A	Supports	Link and button purposes are clear from their accessible names in context.
3.1.1 Language of PageLevel A	Supports	The page language is programmatically identified.
3.2.1 On FocusLevel A	Supports	Receiving focus does not initiate a change of context.
3.2.2 On InputLevel A	Supports	Changing a setting does not automatically change context without warning.
3.3.1 Error IdentificationLevel A	Supports	Input errors are identified in text, associated with the field programmatically, and announced to assistive technology.
3.3.2 Labels or InstructionsLevel A	Supports	Inputs have visible labels; required fields and formats are indicated.
4.1.1 ParsingLevel A	Supports	Markup is generated by a component framework producing well-formed documents with unique IDs.
4.1.2 Name, Role, ValueLevel A	Partially Supports	Interface controls expose accessible names, roles, states, and values, including custom comboboxes, switches, tabs, tree and table views, and icon buttons. Exceptions: internal widgets of the third-party PDF viewer and the in-cell editors of the spreadsheet-style grids. Remediation planned for the grid editors; the viewer limitation is tracked with the component vendor.

WCAG 2.0 success criteria, Level AA

Table 2: Success Criteria, Level AA
Criteria	Conformance	Remarks and explanations
