ACCS 1:2025 Certification Scheme for Age Assurance Systems and Components 4.6: Define repeatable scope boundaries with architecture, identification and an inclusions and exclusions statement

What does 4.6 require?

The client defines the item's boundaries so that certification can be repeated: an architecture diagram showing the item, its interfaces to other systems, to components and to intermediaries, the flow of data and results between parties and any external dependencies; documentary identification by name, version or deployment reference, release date and the jurisdictions and contexts covered; a statement of what functions, processes or methods are inside and outside certification together with the assumptions, prerequisites and conditions for operating within the certified scope; and, where relevant, the standards each component inside the boundary is analysed against. The certification agreement records the boundaries, and the certificate and schedule state them with the version certified.
