Print Controller Design Guide for Information Security 4-3-6 Certification of the SDK Application Having completed the development of the production-level (product release) version of the SDK application, the Vendor must then request Ricoh to certify the application. When applying for Ricoh certification, the Vendor must provide Ricoh with the application's functional specifications, entire object code and all relevant evaluation results. Following this, Ricoh examines the information provided by the Vendor to ascertain in detail the full scope of the operations of the application, as well as to what extent the application has already been tested. These results are then documented (If deemed necessary, Ricoh may perform further testing on the application). As mentioned in section 3.1, if Ricoh determines that the application poses no particular issues or problems, the Vendor is provided with the necessary authentication files. By providing these files, Ricoh is certifying the application. If the Vendor then makes any changes to the application after receiving the authentication files from Ricoh, this Vendor must go through the entire certification process again to obtain new authentication files. It is therefore impossible for an SDK application to be successfully installed on the MFP/LP without the correct authentication files described in section 3.1. Ricoh utilizes this system to manage and control the specifications, operations and quality of SDK applications developed by Vendors, preventing the illegal installation of any SDK application that has not been fully certified as described above.

4-3-6 Certification of the SDK Application
°
Having completed the development of the production-level (product release) version of the SDK
application, the Vendor must then request Ricoh to certify the application. When applying for Ricoh
certification, the Vendor must provide Ricoh with the application’s functional specifications, entire
object code and all relevant evaluation results.
°
Following this, Ricoh examines the information provided by the Vendor to ascertain in detail the full
scope of the operations of the application, as well as to what extent the application has already been
tested. These results are then documented (If deemed necessary, Ricoh may perform further testing
on the application). As mentioned in section 3.1, if Ricoh determines that the application poses no
particular issues or problems, the Vendor is provided with the necessary authentication files. By
providing these files, Ricoh is certifying the application.
°
If the Vendor then makes any changes to the application after receiving the authentication files from
Ricoh, this Vendor must go through the entire certification process again to obtain new authentication
files. It is therefore impossible for an SDK application to be successfully installed on the MFP/LP
without the correct authentication files described in section 3.1.
°
Ricoh utilizes this system to manage and control the specifications, operations and quality of SDK
applications developed by Vendors, preventing the illegal installation of any SDK application that has
not been fully certified as described above.
