Standards case sensitivity obligations

Question

Are the Consumer Data Standards case sensitive?

For example, if the Authentication standards state ‘One Time Password’, then does this invalidate ‘One time password’?

 

Answer

The Consumer Experience standards are explicit with the language including case-sensitivity and are mandatory.

However, the descriptive text in the technical standards should not be considered to impose an obligation.

Within the Standards, elements such as field names are often case-sensitive.
