CEP participating test centres review ongoing tests and test centre allocation

Videoconference, 6 October 2022 — Representatives of the ECAC Common Evaluation Process (CEP) participating test centres, the chair and deputy chair of the CEP Management Group and the ECAC Secretariat gathered online ahead of the 55th meeting of the CEP Management Group (26-27 October) to discuss progress with ongoing tests and the CEP test centres’ available capacity until the second quarter of 2023.

They noted that the available capacity was sufficient to allow the management group to allocate all the tests requested before their meeting.

Participants also reviewed implementation of the harmonised protocols, and the pending items for implementation of the Common Testing Methodologies for explosive detection systems (EDS) v4.0 (which includes testing against the EDS performance standard 3.2) and for automated prohibited item detection systems (APIDS) for cabin baggage v1.0.
