Consistently with the Rulebook, the ORD as set in the EDS and ROP may not be set at any date earlier than 5 October 2025 (the effective date of the VOP scheme).
PSPs (and RVMs acting on behalf) willing to “manifest” a technical readiness and an openness to start (multilateral) technical tests (i.e. accept VOP requests), shall:
- complete the EDS onboarding and updating step, and
- properly configure the API endpoints (URIs) for testing purposes by setting the attribute “environment” to the value “T” (test) into the EDS with a start date which corresponds to their technical readiness date.
It is worth noting that if a PSP wishes to configure the same URI (or a different URI) as their “live” URI (setting the “environment” attribute to “L”) the start date attribute of this URI can only be equal or later than the respective ORD date.
