# Check Results

> Understand the six possible check result states: Passed, Failed, Warning, Not Applicable, Not Reported, and Error.

When viewing checks' results, either in the entity page or the overview page,
you will see one of the following states:

* **Passed**: The check passed successfully.
* **Failed**: The check failed.
* **Warning**: The check did not pass, but will not prevent the entity from being
  certified.
* **Not Applicable**: The check is not applicable to the entity.
* **Not Reported**: The check has not been reported yet. This often indicates that the check
  did not have the fact it needed to run against the entity.
* **Error**: An error occurred while running the check.
