The eArchiving Conformance Seal demonstrates that a digital repository or archival solution is conformant with the E-ARK specifications. Below are the basic steps to acquire the eArchiving Conformance Seal.
There are several steps which need to be carried out by a designated representative from an organisation (digital repository maintainer) or company (solution provider).

1. Validation
Validation is the process of testing a single Information Package (IP) file for conformance. You can start by verifying if individual information packages of your digital repository or archival solution are valid by using the Validation Service to test if these are conformant with E-ARK specifications.

2. Self-assessment conformance eArchiving conformance of a digital archive or archiving solution includes meeting the requirements for ingest and processing of Information Packages, in addition to the validation of a representative sample of information packages. |
