What is the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) and mutual recognition?
The CCRA is an international agreement between CC certificate producing and/or consuming nations to recognise CC evaluations for Evaluation Assurance Levels (EAL) 1 through 4. Through the AISEP scheme, Australia and New Zealand are joint members of the CCRA as a certificate producing nation. Certificate consuming nations do not administer a CC scheme but recognise the evaluation results conducted by CC certificate producing nations. Participants of the CCRA benefit from shared certification results without the need to duplicate an evaluation. Information about the CCRA may be found on the CC portal at http://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/theccra.html.
