CVA Qualification
This section helps potential market entrants understand the CVA qualification process.
CVA Qualification is the process by which participants prove their ability to interface effectively
with NETA Central Services Agents (NETA CSA).
The CVA qualification process is detailed in
BSCP70 - CVA Qualification Testing for Parties and Party Agents(92Kb)
. In accordance with BSCP70 qualifying participants may
prove their ability to communicate with the relevant NETA CSAs by either
undertaking CVA qualification testing or alternatively, where the qualifying
participant is using communication lines previously tested for the relevant
flows, by submitting an Application for a Waiver of Qualification Testing form
(BSCP70/02). To book CVA qualification testing slots, qualifying participants
should submit BSCP70/01/A/B/C. Please refer to BSCP70 for more information on these
processes.
The diagram on the

Qualification Testing Dataflow Group Requirements page describes
the groups of dataflow(s) that require testing for all roles that require CVA qualification testing.
For more information on the applicable flows requiring testing for the participation capacity or role
in which a participant wishes to register, please refer to the Communications Requirements Document.
Before starting preparations for CVA qualification, participants are also
recommended to read the CVA Qualification Guide(57Kb)
which provides further helpful information and hints.
