ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute – WCI
Organization Overview
The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute (WCI) is an organization that functions as an operational group within The Automation Standards Compliance Institute (ASCI), to establish specifications and processes used in the testing and certification of wireless products and systems for the ISA100.11a wireless standard. Manufacturing and automation control systems users and suppliers work together in the Wireless Compliance Institute to develop and deploy standards-based, industrial wireless devices and systems.
The mission of the ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute is to build consensus around industry standards arising from the work of ISA100 Standards Committee on Wireless Systems for Automation, and to enforce their effective and consistent application. WCI owns the ‘ISA100 Wireless COMPLIANT’ certification scheme and conducts independent testing and certification of devices to ensure they conform to the ISA100.11a standard. By providing the ISA100 Wireless Compliant stamp of approval, users, suppliers and integrators can function under a single technical standard, enhancing inter-operability in the selection and deployment of wireless products and systems.
