EDI – Company Test Environment

The Swedish Customs offers a company test environment where your company and you as a system developer can test EDI messages using your own test data. The test environment is available at all times and without limitation.

Once your EDI communication is in production, the test environment is still available for tests of new messages or to train new employees. Ask your system supplier about any limitations in the software to send test messages simultaneously with messages in production.

Before you can begin to test you must

  • Apply for registration for communication via EDI (TVEDI)
  • Register a contact person authorized to administer signature certificates and order a signature certificate

If your company already has a TVEDI decision and want to perform tests for new messages with the same system contact the EDI test function.

  • The test indicator (1) must be activated when using the test environment otherwise the messages are sent in the production flow.
  • Do not send big files, batches or make volume tests in the test environment.
  • The technical specifications always apply in case of any discrepancies in the test cases and sample files.

Our aim is that the company test environment mirrors the production environment as much as possible, but there are some exceptions. You cannot test

  • Quota management
  • License management
  • Guarantees

Depending on which messages and procedures you want to test, there can be requirements for other authorisations and registrations. Normally, your company can use your own authorisations when performing tests. Further information about the test conditions for each message is stated in the test cases and final tests.

If your company does not have the necessary test data the EDI test function can allocate fictional information.

Subscription messages

It is not normally required to register supplementary test data for subscription messages but these can be allocated upon request.

Final tests for declarants

In order for you as a declarant to obtain approval for tests and be able to send and receive messages in the production environment, a number of final tests must be completed with approved results. These final tests for declarants should be submitted if your company use a software that has already carried out approved tests.

Final tests for system developers

In order to get approval for tests as a system developer, or if your company has an in-house developed system, your company must perform and be approved on a number of final tests.
