SAS/QC ® 9.4M8
Accessibility Conformance Report- Revision Date: February 03, 2023
- Contact: accessibility@sas.com
- VPAT version: 2.4
SAS/QC® (hereafter 'the software'), a component of the SAS System, provides a comprehensive set of tools for statistical quality improvement. These tools can be used to organize quality improvement efforts, design industrial experiments for product and process improvement and maintain statistical control and reduce variation.
This document reflects the output of SAS/QC only. The user interface used in creating the output is covered in other VPATs, including BASE SAS and SAS Studio. The document references PROCs that are unique to SAS/QC, including PROC ISHIKAWA, PROC PARETO, and PROC FACTEX. It also assumes that the user is using the HTML5 ODS destination and they are using accessibility best practices when creating that output.
Criteria that are not relevant for SAS/QC output are marked Not Applicable.
The software was not tested against WCAG AAA or WCAG 2.1 success criteria.
The software does not contain multimedia content. Criteria related to multimedia are not applicable.
Software is not part of a closed system.
