Note: prospective iSHARE participants can start testing at any moment in time before initiating the admission process.
Goal
The goal of the admission process is to let prospective participants join the iSHARE Network in a simple and controlled way. A controlled admission process is important to warrant trust in the iSHARE Trust Framework. It provides assurance that all parties signing an accession agreement fulfil the scheme's accession criteria.
Admission criteria
To be admitted to the iSHARE network as a full participant (data service provider or consumer), prospective participants need to comply with several criteria*:
- Provide a signed iSHARE accession agreement;
- Provide a valid EORI number (or a valid nationally recognised company identification number based on which EORI can be verified);
- Provide a Qualified Electronic Seal (eSEAL) digital certificate (public key). Currently, any valid eIDAS eSEAL certificate is accepted;
- Provide a successful test report of iSHARE conformance test tool.
* For operational reasons, additional admission criteria MAY apply.
