How to qualify a product
The DOME certification qualification process is one of the steps in the Product Specification process and needs to be completed in the ???"Compliance profile step???step". The product needs to be created to be able to edit the compliance profile section.
In order to be able to get the DOME compliance profile the product owner needs to upload the Verified Credentials (VCs) of the different supported certifications. Only VCs from authorized entities by DOME will be accepted. The product owners can access the Compliance Module to get the certifications verified and get the related VCs.

For the Self-declared certifications (no validation supported) the user can click on the corresponding ones (all except the green ones). That certificate will change to
???SELF-DECLARED???status. -
For the ones that need validation, the product owners need to access the Compliance module (Link to the DEKRA web-page-to be updated) to get the related VCs and upload it to the compliance profile (see How to get the VC to the supported certifications). Until the VCs are uploaded the status of the product with respect to these certifications will be
???SELF-DECLARED???DECLARED
Also the result of the certification validation will be updated in the portal and the product will be correspondingly classified to one of the the DOME compliance levels (see Dome Certification baseline). The service owner will get a notification about the compliance level achieved by the service.
Validation status: The uploaded certificates can assume the following states: VERIFIED (validation passed), EXPIRED (expired certificate), SELF -DECLARED (self-declaration of certification compliance,there is no assurance from DOME about the validity ) .
How to get the VC to the supported certifications:
After logging in the Compliance Module the product owner will include the evidence of the supported certifications (i.e. signed certifications in pdf format).
The pdf or link to the pdf for each of the certifications to be qualified needs to be uploaded through the data entry form and submitted.
The validation of the certification is a process that might take time. The owner of the product will receive the resulted Verified Credentials to the successful certifications, to be stored in the wallet (through the Credential Issuance component that DOME operates).
When the VC/VP from the certification verification is received, the product owner shall enter the product specification, and edit the compliance profile, uploading the provided VP (composed of all the verified VCs)
