Regarding the “I confirm that the Tester established a process allowing me to adopt Participant status in this Test.”: Would it be possible to add some note what should be done if a vendor wants to adopt the participant status?” Response from AMTSO: Options for requesting participant status are typically included in notification messages, adding them to our multi-purpose web forms is not viable at this time. In most cases, vendors can contact the tester to discuss participation.
