British Standards Institute committee BDD/1/-/3 have prepared a
definition of year 2000 conformity requirements:
Year 2000 conformity shall mean that neither performance nor
functionality is affected by dates prior to, during and after the year
2000. In Particular:
Rule 1. No value for current date will cause any interruption in
operation.
Rule 2. Date-based functionality must behave consistently for dates prior
to, during and after year 2000.
Rule 3. In all interfaces and data storage, the century in any date must
be specified either explicitly or by unambiguous algorithms or
inferencing rules.
Rule 4. Year 2000 must be recognized as a leap year.
Further information can be obtained from:
