How to get a Conformance Certificate

The general process for obtaining a Conformance Certificate is as follows:

1. Participant downloads relevant Conformance Checklist and completes all required tests/checklist.

2. In addition to the completed Conformance Checklist, all participants, must share a signed self-declaration providing the status of their compliance to Bahrain OBF.

3. Further, all participants may also attach any supporting evidence to their self-declaration. The CBB may also request additional evidence as needed.

4. The submitted self-declaration and CX, functional, security and Operational Checklists (and additional evidence if applicable) will be reviewed and assessed by the CBB.

5. Post assessment the CBB will inform participants on the status of their conformance.

The issuance and publication of Conformance Certificates are at the sole discretion of the CBB. 

Renewal and Recovery

Conformance Certificates published by the CBB will have no fixed expiry date, however, they will be clearly marked as to which version of the relevant Bahrain OBF Standard they apply to. If the participant makes any changes to their API interface which would cause a change in the Conformance Certificate status, for example introducing a new version of the Bahrain OBF Standard which includes a change for AISP/PISP, the participant should re-apply for a new Conformance Certificate.
