What is the OPC Foundation Certification Program?

The OPC Foundation Certification Program (developed and maintained by the OPC Foundation) provides the infrastructure, tools and processes to facilitate OPC Foundation members in the development of products that conform to the OPC specifications and interoperability requirements. The OPC Foundation Certification Program assures end-users that products from OPC Foundation members meet and exceed user expectations for plug-and-play, secure and reliable interoperability.

OPC Foundation-sanctioned Test Labs provide independent, objective and highly competent verification and certification testing, using a variety of tools and testing techniques that simulate real-world use. To become certified, a product must pass all tests, including Compliance, Interoperability, Robustness, Best Practices and Usability.

Once a product has been certified, the vendor will receive a “Certified” Logo for use only with the product that has passed the certification tests. Vendors displaying the Certification Logo must abide by the Logo License Agreement.
