The third revision of the XertifiX standard took place from September 2023 to November 2024.
Anyone interested was invited to participate in the revision process (send a short email with the subject “Participation in the revision process” to info [at] xertifix.de). They then received the draft of the revised standard and could submit proposed changes until June 2024. In addition, XertifiX actively contacted representatives of various stakeholder groups, requesting feedback on the draft standard.
After an initial stakeholder round, those stakeholder groups that had not yet provided feedback were contacted again in a second round, requesting feedback.
