submitting the test and production forms at the same time, as experience shows that changes still need to be made and a situation in which the review and submission processes for the two forms run in parallel should be avoided. After receiving the forms for the production environment, it is necessary to check whether your institution has signed up to the EPC’s SCT Inst Scheme. The reference data will not be created in the production environment until it has been determined that you have signed up. You will be notified by the National Service Desk and then be asked to enter the reference data for which you are responsible.
It is possible to sign up to the SCT Inst Scheme at any point in the process. What is relevant for the National Service Desk is that you have been marked as signed up on the start date in the production environment.
