The Software Completion Certificate is a critical document used in the Netherlands to formally conclude software development projects and transition them from development to operational status. It serves as legal evidence under Dutch contract law that the developed software meets all specified requirements and has been accepted by the client. This certificate should be used when a software development project reaches completion and all acceptance criteria have been met. It typically follows successful user acceptance testing and resolution of any critical issues. The document includes important details such as project specifications, acceptance criteria met, test results, and any outstanding minor issues that don't prevent acceptance. Under Dutch law, this certificate often triggers contractual milestones such as final payments, warranty periods, and the transfer of intellectual property rights. It provides protection for both the developer and the client by clearly documenting the state of the delivered software and any agreed-upon exceptions or future commitments.
