Nanjing Fujitsu Nanda Software Technology Co., Ltd. (herein after called ‘FNST’), the second company in China to adopt ISO/IEC 5230:2020, has completed regular recertification for the international standard for open source license compliance. This standard defines the key requirements of a quality open source compliance program, and helps to both reduce errors and increase efficiency across the global supply chain.
ISO/IEC 5230:2020 and ISO/IEC 18974:2023, a sister standard for security assurance, have a regular recertification process to ensure that open source programs are up-to-date and match current organizational strategy and staffing. Recertification can be done through self-certification, independent assessment or third-party certification on a regular 18 month cycle. The OpenChain Project provides extensive certification support via its website: https://www.openchainproject.org/get-started
“The ISO/IEC 5230 recertification process is a key part in ensuring processes are current and match products, services and strategy. FNST’s recertification to our standard for open source license compliance is a clear demonstration of their ongoing commitment to excellence in open source management.” – Shane Coughlan, OpenChain General Manager.
