Certification of Data Handling and Results Providers

The FEI has set up a standard procedure to certify systems and IT providers dealing with timing, scoring and data handling at FEI Events.

This procedure can be applied to :

-  A Company* (If your company is using a software you do not need to follow this approval procedure)

-  A Software**

Being certified by the FEI can assist and promote IT providers who work with international equestrian events.

Organising Committees who use a FEI Certified Service Provider will be guaranteed to fulfill all FEI specifications, in regards to managing data and entries for the submission of FEI results.

The names of the certified software and IT providers will be published on the FEI website for National Federations and Organising Committees to consult, which will assist them with the organisation of their Events.

The list of IT providers and software will also be available in each discipline section on the FEI website and will be updated each year.
