This Requirements resource lists the additional requirements for systems certifying for ASTP Health IT Certification (g(10) certification. These requirements represent the regulatory and technical specifications that design artifacts must meet to ensure interoperability. See the US Core Server Requirements for the US Core Responder (Server) requirements defined in the US Core Implementation Guide narrative sections.

These requirements apply to the actor: US Core Certifying System
