Abstract	This paper describes the Centre for Environmental Data Archival format audit. It discusses the techniques used to conduct a broad and rigorous audit of an archive containing heterogeneous scientific data which has been acquired over a 25 year period. We discuss the successes and limitations of the CEDA format diagnostic toolkit along with results acquired during the first automated sweep of the archive. We present an analysis of these preliminary results and consider the implications for preservation strategy development.
