Applicability
Confirms the applicable requirement, version, deadline, threshold, and regulated role.
Governance
Confirmation requirements
Every technical result identifies its source, scope, and authority level.
Each confirmation records what was checked, the source and rule version used, the date of the check, any exclusions, and the person or organization authorized to issue the conclusion.

A technical check is not an official decision.
Confirmation classes
OCO uses seven classes of technical confirmation.
Each class limits what the system may state. A technical confirmation is not a permit, certification, inspection, professional opinion, or official decision.
Identity & eligibility
Confirms whether a person, entity, professional, establishment, asset, or product matches a stated authoritative status.
Evidence completeness
Confirms whether the required fields, documents, signatures, measurements, and approvals are present and internally consistent.
Cross-system consistency
Confirms whether ERP, invoice, payroll, customs, permit, certificate, and registry data are consistent.
Submission
Confirms whether evidence reached the official endpoint and whether an acknowledgment was received.
Lifecycle status
Confirms whether renewal, modification, suspension, revocation, corrective action, or another condition requires attention.
Evidence integrity
Confirms whether selected evidence has changed since a recorded timestamp.
Authority levels
Technical validation and official decisions are separate.
Every result identifies its issuer and authority level. This distinction separates OCO's technical work from reserved professional acts, accredited assessments, and official authority decisions.
OCO validation
OCO performs a defined technical check against stated data, evidence, rules, and sources.
Professional conclusion
A legally responsible professional issues a conclusion within their authorized scope.
Accredited assessment
An accredited certification, inspection, testing, or conformity-assessment body issues the result.
Official authority response
The competent authority issues the permit, acknowledgment, status, decision, or other official act.
Operating requirements
All work requires lawful access and minimum necessary data.

- 03
OCO preserves the competent authority as the authoritative source and records the source and rule version used for each confirmation.
- 04
OCO separates the governance roles of the authority, association, sponsor, and regulated organizations.
