6.1 Export compliance

6.1.1 Export compliance (Version 1 systems)

The only additional requirement we are requiring of systems already compliant with Version 1 is that all VEOs must contain a digital signature. All Version 1 systems currently compliant with Specification 3 already fulfil this requirement.

Once this Specification is issued, no further systems will be tested for compliance with Version 2.

6.1.2 Export compliance (Version 2 systems)

The recordkeeping system must produce VEOs that comply to this version of the Specification without any of the conditional features.

Specifically, to achieve this level of compliance Version 2 systems must produce Record VEOs that contain the following:

  • At least one Signature Block (M134) (i.e. one digital signature).
  • A vers:id attribute in the Signature Block element (M134); see section 3.5.3.
  • A Lock Signature Block element (M152); see section 3.5.3.
  • A vers:id attribute in the Document (M114), Encoding (M126), and Document Data (M133) elements.
  • A vers:VEOVersion attribute in the Signed Object element (M4); see section 3.5.2.
  • At least one Agent (M12).
  • At least one Management Event (M67).
  • At least one Document (M114) and Encoding (M126).
  • At least the mandatory metadata elements:
    • VEO Format Description (M2)
