Introduction
Certification is a pre-requisite for a Resource Centre (aka site) to become part of a Resource Infrastructure such as a National Grid Initiative (NGI) and EIRO (in Europe), or multi-country Resource Infrastructure.
Through its parent Resource Infrastructure, a certified Resource Centre becomes member of the EGI Resource Infrastructure to make resources available to international user communities.
A certified site guarantees a minimum quality of service of service of these resources (currently expressed in terms of monthly availability and reliability), it must ensure troubles are handled in a timely fashion, it must understand and adhere to a common set of policies and procedures. This compares to an uncertified, or test Resource Centre, which does not provide a guarantee on the availability or usability of it's resources.
