Registry functional specifications

The functional specification describes the business functional requirements of the Registry. It should be read in conjunction with the associated Registry Operational Requirements.

The Registry is a repository of all ICP information. The main processes of the Registry are:

• the maintenance and validation of ICP information, both current and historical, via online and batch functions;
• a notification facility that advises all affected participants of changes made to ICP information;
• a delivery mechanism for the switching protocols;
• the provision of ICP look-up facilities to authorised participants, both online and in batch (file) mode;
• integration by reports in the RM's system;
• the provision of compliance reporting; and
• facility for the management of discrepancies between participant back-office systems and the Registry.

The Code defines which participant is responsible for specific ICP attributes and the timeframes within which the maintenance should be completed.
