 +====Do I need to make the Verification Artifacts available when I self-certify?​====
 +
 +You do not need to make the Verification Artifacts as part of the self-certification. We do expect you to be able to provide the Verification Artifacts promptly upon request, as you confirm when you submit your self-certification request. If you choose, you may also make the Verificaton Artifacts available {WHERE?}. Please note that if you make them available they will be generally accessible and not only be available to us.
 +
 +We are aware that the self-certification questionnaire is used by companies you may be contracting or negotiating with to assess your conformance. In this context, the companies may ask you to provide the Verification Artifacts to them. Such request has no bearing on your self-certification per se. However, if you are not able to provide the Verification Artifacts upon request or if they lack substance, these companies may complain to us. Upon such complaint, we may ask you to provide your Verification Artifacts to us for us to verify your Conformance.
