The Ada Certification Body 
 
 
The validation process is carried out by the Ada 
certification body. This body consists of the Ada Joint 
Program Office (AJPO), the Ada Validation Organization 
(AVO), and the AJPO-recognized Ada Validation Facilities 
(AVFs). 

The AJPO provides validation guidance, issues validation 
certificates for AVF-tested Ada implementations, maintains 
the Ada Compiler Validation Capability (ACVC), maintains the 
Ada Validated Compilers List (VCL), reviews all Validation 
Summary Reports (VSRs), reviews and adjudicates (with the 
assistance of the AVO) all disputes regarding the Ada test
instrument, and maintains current operating agreements with 
the AVFs. 

For more information on the compiler validation process, 
please consult the latest version of the Ada Validation 
Procedures.
