Ending a Review
Before a Problem Report is resolved it is reviewed by one or more review
groups in order to determine whether the submitter has identified a
valid problem and whether it has been classified correctly. Each reviewer should
read the problem information provided by the submitter and consider the views of other reviewers.
The review
is performed by reviewers who consider the problem information provided by the submitter and the views of other
reviewers, then register their own comments and
opinions using a web interface.
When a review group has determined what the response should be to a
particular report, one of the review group responders must close the
review by providing the final review response. This is a public
statement summarizing the findings of the review group and will be
visible to all viewers of the problem report, both during the remainder of the
review process and after the problem report has been published.
When responding to a problem report to conclude a review, the responder should ensure that
the response indicates the conditions under which the recommendation holds, i.e. if
it is a special case or can be generally applied. The reason for this is that
certification applicants will be able to "cite" a problem report that
has been resolved to a Interpretation of the specification (INT)
to explain assessment or evaluation failures, in cases where the applicant
believes the problem is due to a problem with the specification.
If there are any restrictions on how the problem
report may be applied in the future, they should be clearly stated in the
response.
You may end a review by Viewing
the Review or the Problem Report
Details page and selecting the Make Final Response to End
Review option.
The fields in the End Review form are shown below.

Enter your name here.
Contact Email
Enter your email address here, or a contact email address if you are
responding on behalf of a group of people.
Resolution
Enter the Problem Report resolution, as agreed by the reviewers in the
review. In a SA
(Specification Authority) review, the resolution is a recommendation to
the CA (Certification Authority). In a CA preliminary review, any
resolution provided is final, but if no agreement has yet been reached,
No Resolution Given can be selected. In a CA Detailed/Expert Group review, a
resolution must be given, but it can be given a Resolution Type of Preliminary.
The resolutions are specified below.
| Resolution Codes |
|---|
| Code | Type |
|---|
| CSD | Certification System Deficiency |
| INT | Interpretation Issue with a specification |
| DUP | Duplicate of Previous Problem Report |
| REJ | Report Rejected |
| VPD | Validation Procedure Deficiency |
| WDN | Report Withdrawn |
In addition, user defined resolution type can be specified through properties
file.
Resolution Type
For Resolutions of SA Detailed/Expert Group reviews, where a resolution of some kind
must be given, the resolution can be marked as Preliminary if it
is still being reviewed. There will then be a new SA Detailed/Expert Group Review
started, until a Final resolution is given.
Response
Enter the Review Conclusion here as a summary. Ensure that it includes
any special cases or exclusions that apply to the resolution, so that the
problem report can be used to provide a generic record for future users of the Problem
Reporting system to determine whether the errors they are seeing are
permissible. This text will be visible to all users of the Problem
Reporting system.
