The three standards fit together: OAIS defines Fixity Information conceptually (part of preservation description information) and asks archives to map practices onto its model; BagIt provides the concrete package with payload and tag manifests, where a bag is valid only when every listed checksum verifies; PREMIS 3.0 records the digest and algorithm as object characteristics and each fixity check as a dated Event with an outcome.

Curator qualifications: Standards read 2026-10-22 (two from producer copies); no bag created or verified. OAIS and PREMIS verified from producer copies (hash = pin). AV specifics (PREMIS AVI example) per producer. Limitations: Standards read 2026-10-22 (two from producer copies); no bag created or verified. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
