Current official certification page adopts the Version 4 blueprint, and current EDRP application table lists EDRP v4. Unpublished official start/end dates remain null; retrieval and metadata dates are not used as effective dates.
Application Processing

A selected Candidate Retesting Audit may require another sitting aligned to the same blueprint before a final certification decision; this is not a separately identified examination.
