Amended Configurable Items

The following Code Subsidiary Documents and Configurable Items have been amended as part of the February 12 Release and have been approved for use by ISG and/or SVG in November 2011.

Only BSCP601 was amended as a result of the review.

Note that the ISG approved the CRA URS with a clarification, so the version presented here is different from the version issued for industry review.

Other Code Subsidiary Documents and Configurable Items listed in the scope table above that do not appear here were approved with the relevant Change Proposal or Modification, so were not issued for industry review as part of the Release.

The SVA Data Catalogue Volume 1 and the SVAA Service description changes for CP1347 will be published here in mid-December after the MDB has assigned a number for the new dataflow.
