			 Testing of E-Gaming software against AGCC criteria.  This may 
			 Mean submitting existing Test Reports to the AGCC

A Core Service Provider Associate Certificate is issued under Section 7 of the AGCC E-Gaming Ordnance and specified under Section 17 of this Ordnance.

The prospective Associate has Reporting duties under Regulation 58 of the AGCC E-Gaming Software Licence Regulations.

Certificate submission comes under Chapter IV - General Provisions for Associates.  Regulation 61 (Submission of Application), Regulation 62 (Fees) and Regulation 64 (Investigations)
