All applications developed by independent software vendors (ISVs) or developed in-house by members and directly connected to INET must be registered in the Nasdaq Member Portal. Members with sponsored access clients must register them and map their users and sessions to the application in use.

The registration of applications is the first step for members to prove the use of conformed and approved application. Registration consists of the name of the application, version number and contact information. Once registered, a conformance test can begin to be approved for production access.

Refer to the following guide on how to register and self-certify the use of applications.

Applications in Nasdaq Member Portal Guide

Conformance testing is done in interaction with Nasdaq Exchange Services. During conformance, the client is instructed to execute specified conformance test cases and Nasdaq verifies that the client application fulfils the expected requirements and behavior.
