Our tips for saving time

Personal CPx cards and software certificates

  • To access the INSi teleservice, your clients must have a CPx card (CPS, CPF or CPE) or software certificate.
  • Warning: non-personal CPx cards do not work. Please inform your clients as soon as possible so that they can order name-specific CPx cards from the ANS if necessary.
  • Procedures for ordering these products (CPx card and/or server certificate) are available on the ANS website.

CPx test cards and test certificates

  • Don't have any CPx test cards and/or test certificates? Order them as soon as possible from the ANS by following the procedure
  • Do you already have test CPx cards and test certificates? Please note that they are valid for 3 years. If these products expire, don't hesitate to order new ones from the ANS website.
     

Matters of note

Software compliance

  • A system will be put in place in the second half of 2021 to ensure software compliance.

 

Do not confuse authorisation with compliance

  • Note, once you are authorised by the CNDA, your solution will be able to call the INSi teleservice, but it will not necessarily comply with the requirements of the ANS-produced Implementation Guide, which is not covered by CNDA authorisation.
  • Therefore, you will also need to ensure that your software complies with the Implementation Guide before deploying your solution to your clients.
