Scope of automated individual decision-making
Article 2
1. An individual decision by automated means may occur during an online test in an open competition or a CAST selection, where a predefined testing rule or condition is not complied with. 2. Such decision-making shall be limited to the termination of the testing session. 3. The circumstances triggering such measure are set out exhaustively in this Article, and shall be communicated to candidates in accordance with Article 4. They shall be limited to events objectively affecting the integrity, security or controlled conditions of the testing, namely: (a) the revocation by the candidate of camera or microphone permissions required for the testing; (b) the testing page becoming unresponsive due to the failure of a background script required for the proper functioning of the testing environment; (c) the connection of an additional display where the testing instructions require the use of a single display; (d) an attempt to download a file during the testing where the testing instructions prohibit downloads; (e) the loss of connection to the proctoring environment for a continuous period of two minutes; an attempt to access or modify the testing page through developer tools, page inspection or equivalent technical means; (f) the closing or reloading of the testing tab; (g) a change of network connection during the testing; (h) the use of a proxy during the testing where such use is prohibited by the testing instructions; (i) navigation away from the testing page; (j) the uninstallation or disabling of the proctoring browser extension; (k) the termination of screen recording where screen recording is required by the testing instructions; (l) leaving full-screen mode where the testing instructions require the candidate to remain in full-screen mode. 4. Cases in which assistive technologies used by candidates requiring special accommodation are incompatible with the proctoring tool fall outside the scope of this Decision.
