What is a CSCI CPIN?

What are cpins and how do they work?

CPINs are generated on an ongoing basis for the top 20 asylum intake countries, and commonly address a specific type of common asylum claim(s) or provide general information for several claim types. These relate to information that is not covered in the CPINs.

How do I re-identify a CPIN?

For a re- identification, enter the CPIN to be re-identified and provide new structure as follows: Category, Major Function, Identifiers/Qualifiers, Software Type/Sequence, and Baseline/Version Sequence. Once approved, the information will appear in the ETIMS Catalog and on the CPIN Requests Report.

Why do cpins have a reverse nomenclature?

Components are often common to various subsystems; therefore, when the component is used in the CPIN the nomenclature is reversed. For example, CP-365/ASQ-6 will be entered as ASQ6/ CP365. This provides a more standardized grouping of subsystem/system identifiers and is more suitable for indexing the CPINs.
