 SIARD stands for Software Independent Archiving of Relational Databases. Originally the Swiss Federal Archives (SFA) have developed the SIARD format as a sustainable solution for the archiving of relations databases.
-In early 2013 SIARD format has been adopted as an eCH Standard (eCH-0165: SIARD format specification http://www.ech.ch/vechweb/page?p=dossier&documentNumber=eCH-0165).

 eCH is the Swiss organization for standardization in the field of e-government. eCH Standards define guidelines for recurring applications and their results, as for example format definitions or procedural standards. The aim of those standards is to unify and thus facilitate the electronic collaboration between authorities as well as between authorities and organizations, educational and research institutions, firms and private organizations.

 * '''TIFF validation:''' KOST-Val reads a TIFF file and uses [[JHOVE (Harvard Object Validation Environment)| JHOVE]] to validate the structure, the content, and [[ExifTool|ExifTool]] to validate the key properties such as compression, colour space, and multipage. These properties can be configured.
 * '''SIARD validation:''' KOST-Val reads a SIARD (eCH-0165 v1 and v2-2017) file and validates the structure and the content.
-* '''PDF/A validation:''' KOST-Val reads a PDF or PDF/A file (ISO 19005-1 and 19005-2) and uses [[3-Heights(TM) PDF Validator|3-Heights™ PDF/A Validator]] by PDF-Tools or pdfaPilot by callas to validate the structure and the content of the PDF file. KOST-Val organises the different error messages into main categories such as fonts, graphics, and metadata. KOST-Val supplies only a limited  version from 3-Heights™ PDF/A Validator by PDF-Tools and pdfaPilot by callas. Module J extracts (with [[IText|iText]]) and validates the JPEG and JP2 images contained in the PDF file (depending on the configuration). It is also possible to configure whether the JBIG2 compression is accepted or not.
