Key to using data from these new sources is a good understanding of their characteristics, how they are calibrated, and their quality and technical capabilities.  \nInteroperability between satellites/products will allow to extend dramatically the opportunities for applications (agriculture, water use, forest and vegetation monitoring, pollution monitoring…etc…and also climate applications) .  \nThe data can be used together only if we can trust their accuracy and characterisation . Harmonisation in Calibration and Validation approaches are fundamental.  \nImproving the confidence in new EO products  \nToward Product Certification  \nEstablish standards for quality  \nDevelopment and operations of the quality assessment framework  \n2  \nCertification of what ?  \nIn EO context, “Product Certification” can be defined at 3 levels:  \n􀀹 Certification of a Company  \nControl the production process wrt quality standard. QMS certification is a pre-requisite to obtaining certification. It could be supplementary to ISO9001 certification: process should be streamlined for ISO9001 holders. It must be lighter than ISO9001; training & guidance for applicants should be clear and easily available.  \n􀀹 EO Products (or Dataset) Certification  \nControl the quality of a Level 1 or Level 2 product or dataset (collection). Mission success is dependent upon quality assurance. Evidencing data quality adds significantly to the value of datasets. It gives potential customers the confidence data is fit for their purpose. Many aspects of data quality are aimed at facilitating communication to users → required fore.g. interoperability. The assessment framework aims at verifying claimed mission performance and adheres, where applicable, to community best practices to an extent that is “fit for purpose”.  \nAssessment can be divided into two parts: 1-Review of mission quality as evidenced by its documentation, 2- Validation analysis performed by mission quality assessor.  \n􀀹 Certification of value adding service  \nControl the quality of a data-value adding service. The Certification of Service requires close co-operation with individual thematic communities.  \n3  \nEO Product Certification  \nEO Product Certification has three main domains:  \n􀀹 Data Authenticity (+ Processing Traceability)  \nthat should guarantee the authenticity of the product, avoiding any manipulation that can lead to wrong interpretation and misuse of the information.  \n􀀹 Data content and performance measurement  \nthat should guarantee that the measurement is accurate, providing uncertainties that are documented, traceable ideally to SI standards or community agreed best practises.  \n􀀹 Fitness for purpose  \nthat should demonstrate that the data from which one we know the provenance (authenticity) and the quality (performance measurement) is fit for purpose or for a specific application.  \nA levelled approach to certification is recommended, which will:  \n- improve accessibility to the scheme whilst retaining scheme rigour,  \n- retain differentiation between products with different quality specifications,  \n- improve the quality of data products over time.  \n\n| Level | Description | Purpose |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | Meets essential criteria | R&D / pre-operational products |\n| 2 | Meets all but the most demanding products rigorous requirements | Operational products |\n| 3 | Meets all requirements | Most demanding applications –\u003Cbr>e.g. , climate, litigation |\n\n4  \nEO Product Certification: link with cal/val reference  \nEO product certification requires the use of cal/val reference, i.e . of Fiducial Reference Measurement (FRM)  \nFRM is ","cbCaieCpse9ok1oZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieCpse9ok1oZ","pdf",1454336,"English","# Toward Product Certification\n## Improving the confidence in new EO products\n## Certification of what?\n### Certification of a Company\n### EO Products (or Dataset) Certification\n### Certification of value adding service\n## EO Product Certification: three main domains\n## A levelled approach to certification\n## EO Product Certification: link with cal/val reference\n## FRM definition and key characteristics\n## Example of cal/val reference (Cal/Val Park in Italy)","[{\"question\":\"Why is certification important for new high-resolution Earth Observation data providers?\",\"answer\":\"Because data from new sources can only be used together when accuracy and characterization are trusted.
