Validation Procedure
Please download the [ approval scheme process flow chart ] for detailed information.
Submitted tests will first pass through a high-level sanity check to ascertain compliance of test to specified guidelines. Passing the check, the application will be processed and the test results will be validated.
The solutions for the ORCalc and FI-SBEM software tests from the vendor must be in exact agreement with CLG's reference results, details of which could be found in the ORCalc tests and FI-SBEM tests Sections.
For the DSM software tests, close agreement within stringent margins must be achieved with CLG's reference results, where details could be found in the DSM tests Section.
Recommendations will be made to CLG at the end of the validation process on the status of the software and CLG will make the appropriate decision and an official note will be sent by CLG to the vendor informing them the outcome of the approval process.
Approval process
The approval process applies to all new-entrant software and to existing approved software undergoing upgrades for re-approval. The approval process has two outcomes:
- A recommendation is made to CLG that the software be approved in its current form as it has met all compliance requirements
- An application is rejected because it has not met all compliance requirements. Feedback will be provided to highlight where the requirements were not met and how to improve the software
