CRL Ratings Schema

 

This is the working schema that CRL applies in assigning summary ratings of a repository’s compliance with the TRAC criteria.  The numeric rating is based on a scale of 1 through 5, with 5 being the highest level, and 1 being the minimum certifiable level.

4. Compliant with all metrics, and able to provide complete, up-to-date documentation, but with minor inconsistencies in areas that are not likely to lead to systemic or pervasive defects.

3. Compliant with all critical metrics, and able to provide complete, up-to-date documentation of major systems and procedures, but with minor inconsistencies in areas that are not likely to lead to systemic or pervasive defects.
