After each test case is automatically verified, Operator submits the test result to JCB within the J/Secure Test Platform.

Once JCB receives the test result from Operator, JCB will validate them.
The validation result will be notified via email from the J/Secure Test Platform.

If JCB determines that a retest is necessary in Step 4, Operator must repeat the test.

Step 6: Letter of Compliance Issuance (JCB)

After completing the internal process, Letter of Compliance will be issued for Operator whose test result is approved by JCB in Step 4.
