 * Then GEBV-test is needed whenever there is a major change either in the genomic evaluation or in the conventional evaluation. Additionally, if there is a major change in the reference population a new GEBV-test should be required.GEBV-test is valid for only two years.
 * Following decision by the ICAR board, all countries that want to  validate national GEBVs need to participate in the GEBV-test starting on  April 12, 2012, for all production traits (milk, fat and protein  yields).
 * The expected regression coefficient for the GEBV-test model 1 should be within the confidence interval of plus minus two times the standard error (t test).
 * For very large reference populations, however, the SE becomes too small and makes the above criteria too restrictive. Therefore, it is proposed a “biological confidence interval” of ±0.1.
 * The R-square of model 1 should be higher than the R-Square of model 2.
 * GEBV-test should only be noted as failed if regression coefficients are significantly lower than the expected value (=over evaluation of young bulls), or higher than 1.20.

The following populations have succeeded to provide the information requested and passed the GEBV-test ('''Please note that some GEBV-test results are older than 2 years''').
