Year 2000 Compliance Statement

The British Standards Institute (BSI) has published DISC PD2000-1: A Definition of Year 2000 Conformity Requirements. As of July 1, 1997, neither the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), nor any U.S.-based industry group, to our knowledge, have published a separate definition, or endorsed this definition; however, Quality Publishing feels this definition is fully encompassing and provides a suitable compliance definition.

The definition is as follows (an Amplification of the Definition and Rules is also provided):

Year 2000 conformity shall mean that neither performance nor functionality is affected by dates prior to, during and after the year 2000. In particular:

Rule 1. No value for current date will cause any interruption in operation.

Rule 2. Date-based functionality must behave consistently for dates prior to, during and after year 2000.

Rule 3. In all interfaces and data storage, the century in any date must be specified either explicitly or by unambiguous algorithms or inferencing rules.

Rule 4. Year 2000 must be recognized as a leap year.

OPERATIONS: Quality Publishing has determined that all critical business operations, including critical supplier processes and internal sales, support, development, purchasing and accounting functions, will not be adversely affected by any Year 2000 issues. This plan included reviews and testing of internally-developed and purchased software and hardware.
