With an increasing number of companies providing services to help you transition into the next century, it is important to know what it means to be Year 2000 Compliant. The purpose of this data sheet is to provide you with information that will help you understand HP’s definition of compliance.

A "Compliant" product accurately processes date data (including, but not limited to: calculating, comparing and sequencing dates), from, into and between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, the years 1999 and 2000, and leap year calculations, when used in accordance with its product documentation, and provided all other products used in combination with the product properly exchange data with it. For the few products that are Compliant and require specific customer action, such actions will be clearly detailed.

Products that do no date related processing ("NDRP") are considered to be Compliant. Any product that is not deemed to have a status of Compliant or NDRP is assigned a status of "Non-Compliant."

HP encourages customers to be fully aware of the potential impact that the Year 2000 could have on their business environment and their ability to compete in the 21^st century. HP also encourages its customers to take responsibility for addressing needed changes as quickly as possible.

Listed below in Table 1 and Table 2 are the mandatory Year 2000 test cases and checklist items required for all new HP products to validate their Year 2000 compliance.
