If you sell devices into government, education, healthcare, or other public-sector workflows, accessibility can become a hard requirement. We provide clear, practical testing for hardware and connected ICT products, so your team knows what works, what fails, and what to fix next.
Section 508
Section 508 hardware testing helps teams understand whether a device can be used by people with disabilities in real conditions — not just in theory. This matters when buyers require accessibility evidence during vendor review, RFPs, or contract renewals.
We scope testing to your product type, user tasks, and how the device is actually deployed. The focus is usability barriers that block completion of a task, plus clear documentation your team can act on.

Audits
Our hardware accessibility audits include hands-on evaluation of the device in ways that match Section 508 expectations for ICT hardware. We do not rely on a generic checklist alone.
Typical evaluation areas include placement and reach, physical controls, and how users interact with the device interface. For example, we can take measurements for device placement and access, run pressure/force checks for contact-sensitive controls, and review interaction for users who are blind or have low vision.
Scope
We check whether the device can be approached, reached, and operated in the way users are expected to use it.
We review buttons, switches, touch controls, and similar inputs for usability barriers and consistency.
We identify controls that require force or pressure and document where this can limit access.
We evaluate screens, indicators, and feedback patterns that users rely on to understand status and progress.
We assess common barriers that affect how users perceive and operate the device interface.
Findings are written in clear language with enough detail to support fixes, validation, and internal review.
Interface
Hardware interface accessibility testing is most useful when it connects findings to what engineering teams can change. We document what the user did, what blocked them, and what part of the interface caused the barrier.
AT Compatibility
Where the product includes an interactive interface, we also consider assistive technology compatibility testing only when it applies to your device and platform. We do not claim universal compatibility, and we document the scope clearly.
Deliverables
You receive a structured set of findings designed to support engineering execution, compliance validation, and procurement review.
