Approvals

ITSO provide a level of approval below full Certification, known as "Approval".
ITSO CM Approval is designed to give 'comfort' to ITSO members who wish to assess and source their media from a pre-approved list. What is the difference between Approval of cards, and Certification of cards?
Approval involves the ITSO Certification & Test Service adding a sample ITSO shell and product (normally IPE TYP2 STR) to the blank customer media submitted by a supplier for testing, and then validating that the Shell has been successfully loaded, using the ITSO Test Tool. Certification takes this a number of steps further: the blank media is tested both for loading and reading / deleting the ITSO Shell and all relevant IPEs, and using all the relevant POSTs in the Interoperability Warehouse. ITSO Licensed Operators are required by their License only to issue ITSO Certified Media. ITSO Approved Media must have successfully completed Certification before being issued by ITSO Licensed Operators.
For other equipment (POST and HOPS) Sub-assemblies, Approval is given to allow Organisations to provide sub-assemblies intended for incorporation in other equipment. The certificate will identify the nature of the sub-assembly interface in a Schedule.
