Configuration change history
These are source-linked certification and change records. Field deployment remains separate and unknown unless explicitly documented.
EVS 6.4.0.0 DS950 hardware modification setEAC approved 2023-08-18
The scope records an updated Kontron motherboard with DRAM/TPM capabilities, updated PC power supply, second-source smart-card reader, and M.2 hard drive.

ECO 1151EAC approved 2023-08-18
ECO 1151 updates DATAWIN transporter firmware so the output tray begins lowering sooner, providing more opportunity for incoming ballots to lay flat if a jam occurs.

Findings and public status
Tests, limitations, and listing gaps
Neutral finding types replace a generic “bugs” bucket so affected versions and source scope remain visible.
vstl test campaign resultnone reported in test campaign
No anomalies reported in the EVS 6.4.0.0 certification campaign
Pro V&V reported no anomalies during EVS 6.4.0.0 testing and recommended certification after the system met applicable VVSG 1.0 requirements.
A bounded test result is not evidence that every fielded DS950 is defect-free or a claim about misconduct or outcomes.

Deployment evidence
Dated jurisdiction observations
Deployment records remain at their documented grain. A system-level observation does not establish unit components, firmware, change adoption, or power configuration.
not collected
No reviewed deployment observation in this dossier
The source package currently establishes a certified configuration and test history, but no dated jurisdiction-level use record.
Absence from this catalog is not evidence that the system is unused. Deployment claims require a separately reviewed state or local source.
