Will I have to retest through CTS after activation on the CDR ecosystem?

Question

Will I have to retest through CTS after activation on the CDR ecosystem and if yes, what will be required for this?

Answer

The ACCC may require Participants already live in the CDR ecosystem to re-test against CTS in response to changing ecosystem requirements.

In order to re-test conformance, a participant must have a set of endpoints different to their production endpoints, with which the CTS can interact with.

Those endpoints must be configured to use a CTS certificate.

No real consumer data must be communicated or used when interacting with the CTS via these endpoints, as the consumer will not be able to provide consent to the CTS. As per the Consumer Data Sharing obligations Participants will be required to continue sharing consumer data via their production solution while CTS testing is completed.
