Introduction to Standards
What are Standards?
Standards describe the technical or operating conditions required to achieve Catalogue Compliance.
Standards will be used :
To express any technical and non-functional requirements
By Suppliers to understand what is expected of them in order to be compliant
By the Catalogue Authority to assess Supplier Solutions against in order to award compliance
Standards Model
The Standards are structured in the model below.
There are a set of Overarching Standards that are applicable to all Supplier Solutions (e.g. Commercial Standard)
There are Interoperability Standards which contain requirements applicable to all Solutions and some that are only applicable to certain functionality
See Standards Structure page for more detail on the structure and content of Standards.
