A passed acceptance test is a snapshot of a sample: it holds for the section that was checked and for the moment it was checked. Changing that needs a reference — and people who can produce one. Not only here.
The Behavior Reference (BR) stays owned by the operator and is handed over as an object — even to someone not called Selmo. That sentence is worth exactly as much as the number of companies able to honor it.
WhiteBox does not mean you can see the code. WhiteBox means conformity becomes decidable instead of a matter of judgment.Anyone can join a directory you can simply sign up to. It then says nothing about whether someone can apply the method — and the operator relying on it is worse off than without it.
An entry without evidence is a claim about a third party.The roles differ in what someone does — not in how good they are. One company can hold more than one role.
Creates a Behavior Reference (BR) per customer line, derives from it and produces the evidence. Requires qualified people in the roles Behavior Model Engineer and Selmo Studio Engineer.
What is evidenced is the cooperation on a concrete case: which line, which scope, which exchange format. PLCOpen XML is the common denominator.
Delivers Certification & Training with its own trainers whose Evidence Record is kept. The qualifications remain manufacturer-owned records of Selmo Technology GmbH.
Not years, not revenue, not intention. In all three cases the evidence is something someone produced and a third party can verify. The Behavior Reference (BR) is not after-the-fact documentation of the code. It exists before the code — and that is exactly what admission is decided on.
At least one Behavior Reference (BR) that passed the Behavior Gate, with a named object and version. Plus named people with a kept Evidence Record.
A documented case in which the cooperation worked — line, scope, exchange format, and what remained open.
Named trainers with an Evidence Record, one delivered course, and the willingness to have their own material checked against the canon.
The willingness to give the entry back when the precondition no longer holds. A directory nobody drops out of is just a list again.
Each entry states five things: name, role, country, qualification status and since when. No advertising copy, no rows of logos. Anyone who wants to know more asks — that is what a directory is for.
The directory is being built. Until the first entries are released, no list appears here — an empty list would be more honest than a full one without evidence.
Admission is a process, not a purchase. It presupposes Certification & Training — that is the statement, not the hurdle: an ecosystem anyone enters without evidence proves nothing.
Company, role, contact, which people are qualified, which object serves as evidence.
We look at the evidence and come back with questions. Verification asks: was it built right? Validation asks: was the right thing built? We ask both here as well.
No entry appears automatically. Publication is done by us, after the review.
The entry itself costs nothing. What costs money is qualifying the people — and that would come anyway.
Admission is not a seal of quality for an entire company. It evidences named people and named objects — not that every project of that company follows the method.
The question before admission
15–30 minutes. Bring an object, not a presentation.
