DSP conclusions on the Device Selection Methodology for Future DSP

DCC’s conclusions on the Device Selection Methodology (DSM) for the Future Data Service Provider (DSP) as part of the DSP Programme.

On 4 February 2026, DCC published a consultation on the proposed DSM to support the Future DSP Programme. The DSM must set out the Devices to be used across the Pre-Integration Testing (PIT) and Systems Integration Testing (SIT) phases of testing. It must consider the changes being made and determine an appropriate mechanism by which to select Devices for testing. This consultation closed on 18 March 2026.

This document summarises the responses received to this consultation and DCC’s response to these. The DSM will be submitted to the Testing Advisory Group (TAG) for approval.
