Labgram #097/Valgram #117 - NIAP Product Evaluation Status Prior to Kick-Off
Validators and CCTLs,
Recently there has been some confusion regarding the status values utilized by NIAP in the PINE tool to track evaluations prior to Check-in. In an effort to provide clarity for each individual party involved in all facets of evaluation, below is a guideline for each status along with intended timelines and expectations.
- “In Draft” – No time limit; o Set automatically at time of input; provides NIAP a “heads-up” that a product is likely to be evaluated, o No action taken by NIAP, o Project is in full control of the Lab while completing preparation for evaluation or awaiting vendor or product readiness - “Proposed” – No more than one month o Set by the CCTL, o CCTL will deliver Check-in package & EAR to NIAP for review within one month, o NIAP assigns validators to evaluation project team, notifies CCTL & Validators - “Pre-Evaluation” – Two weeks from time of Check-In Package/EAR delivery (dependent on reviews) o Set by NIAP once validators are assigned, o NIAP Check-in package & EAR review process conducted
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 410-854-4458 or by email niap@niap-ccevs.org.
Thank you,
NIAP Staff
