Data Import

Getting Started

Data Import Certificates provide the ability to import your data into IAF CertSearch through different import methods. The data can come from a variety of sources, including spreadsheets (.xlsx), text files (XML) or APIs. It is recommended for members who want to upload bulk data from at least 20 up to 100,000 or more.

This documentation will help you get started with uploading and managing your data through different Data Import Methods.

Before proceeding to import, we recommend ensuring the following prerequisites have been met:

Prerequisites

  • An active IAF CertSearch CB account
