6. IPC validity file (VF) clarification:

• Clarification version of the specification V1.9

• Until V1.7 (May 2005): NO Version indicator

What in VF?

• V 1.8 decision: From_date= Version indicator

• V 1.9 (August 2006): From_date= Version indicator only for AL


6. IPC validity file (VF) clarification:

Why?

• Problem raised at the second IT expert meeting in May 2005 (see item 01)

•In VF, Validity_date_From is “date on which its properties are valid in particular classification level” + (since V1.8) “version indicator”=“version date” in the following slides• Summer 2006: Validity_date_From cannot be Version indicator for both AL and CL
