AB: SCIAMACHY on board of ENVISAT measures globally the vertical distribution and total column amounts of several atmospheric constituents. The values retrieved from the observed spectra, both operationally and non-operationally, are subject to a continuous validation process, in which $38$ European and non-European institutes participate. The SCIAMACHY validation product coordinators monitor the results of this process and regularly asses the accuracy of each product. The product accuracy is described in such a way that it is of direct use for algorithm improvement, instrument characterization and atmospheric research. In this presentation we will summarize and illustrate the current quality of the SCIAMACHY products. Also we will outline our plans for the coming years to ensure a regularly updated and complete description of the accuracy of each SCIAMACHY product. Finally some ideas on synergy between SCIAMACHY and EOS-Aura validation will be discussed.
