Electronic Reading Rooms (ERR)
Electronic Reading Rooms, also known as virtual shared spaces or data rooms are secure online reference portals that allow for the sharing of documents without being able to save, print, or download. They eliminate the need to maintain one or more remote hard copy reference rooms.
How is Certrec ERR Different?
Unlike other virtual document-sharing portals, Certrec’s ERR was created specifically with energy customers in mind. Certrec’s ERR was designed with the rules and procedures of the NRC in mind. Users do not have to worry about NRC users downloading and taking possession of documents without authorization. Printing, saving, and downloading functions are restricted for NRC users. This significantly reduces the chance that the NRC uses the wrong documentation as proof during an audit.
Certrec’s electronic reading room provides clients with an online reference portal for major licensing actions. These actions include COLA and DCD reviews, License Renewal Applications, Life Extension Reviews, and NFPA 805 Submittal Reviews. Clients can access the ERR through web interface, smart pad, or smartphone. Certrec’s ERRs are simple to deploy and can be made available within 24 hours.
