Testing

New service providers are required to go through testing before becoming part of the production instance of the Peppol network.

Access Point (AP) providers

AP providers must perform testing with the Peppol Testbed before issuing of production certificates.

The following steps are needed:

1. Request AP test certificate in the Peppol Service Desk by creating a “PKI Certificate Request” issue
2. Perform testing with the Peppol Testbed – see “OpenPEPPOL Acceptance Test [..]” on the AP implementation guidelines page
3. Submit your test result to Peppol using the Peppol Service Desk by creating a “Test and Onboarding” issue

After approval of your test result, you may request a production certificate in the Peppol Service Desk by creating a “PKI Certificate Request” issue.
