Important general notes

The software evaluation process does not certify or endorse any single software application, neither does it recommend one application over another. The software evaluations are the results of software reviews that the Met Office has carried out on behalf of the ICAO SADIS Operations Group. The purpose of these reviews is to verify whether the applications can deliver certain minimum functions which the SADIS Operations Group considers are essential for the correct use of the WAFS and OPMET data.

It remains the responsibility of the user to ensure that procured software meets their full requirements. It is not intended that the software evaluations fulfil this task. The results from the software evaluations may be used as one additional source of information to aid any procurement process but should not be viewed in isolation of other important procurement requirements.

 
List of required software functionalities
 

List of required software functionalities - as agreed by SADISOPSG/6, refined by SADISOPSG/8, and updated by SADISOPSG/10 and SADISOPSG/13.

For a software package to receive a 'Y' as opposed to a 'N' in the 'Available and Compliant' column on the table, all of the functions detailed need to be satisfied for each functionality item.

For every workstation provider that is happy for their software to be tested under these criteria, it is our intention to make the information available to all existing and prospective SADIS users via the SADIS web page.
