Version 2.2 Certification did not validate survey data and software products could allow incorrect data to be entered and exported. Data could not be shared between vendor programs because of customized fields added by users. The new 4.2 Certification eliminates these problems by allowing 10 custom fields to be created by users and offering vendors a way to share the data. By eliminating defect code entry errors, users can be assured that the data received will be accurate. Vendors are not required to support both versions of the PACP database.
