日本語 The EnOcean Alliance Certification Program is THE tool for the EnOcean Alliance to secure interoperability of EnOcean-based devices without major additional effort.
It also entitles your product to use the EnOcean Alliance Certified Logo and lists your product in the Certified Product Database on the EnOcean Alliance website.
- Self-Certified (formerly Level 2)
This is merely a declaration when using a certified radio platform:- Use of a certified platform or certification according to the Air Interface certification specification.
- Declaration of correct usage of profiles (self-verification using the Profile Checking Tool or own test setup).
- Self-Certified for IoT
Same as "Self-Certified", but additionally with declaration that the products support the latest EnOcean Alliance enhanced security (encryption and authentication) specification.
- Alliance-Verified (formerly Level 3)
Requires testing:- Radio Platform:
- Certification against the Air Interface certification specification.
- End product with a certified radio platform:
- Certification against Radio Performance certification specification.
- Communication Profile certification specification.
- Energy Harvesting certification specifications
- Radio Platform:
- Alliance-Verified for IoT
Same as "Alliance-Verified," but additionally with declaration that the products support the latest EnOcean Alliance enhanced security (encryption and authentication) specification.
> Enter your product in the EnOcean Alliance product data base. Each manufacturer is able to enter a description, further information’s and upload manuals and product images. You can skip this step if you don’t want to go public with the product presentation at the time of the certification.
> If you still have no access to the product data base please email the certification manager (certification@enocean-alliance.org) to get the login data.
> If your product uses an EnOcean GmbH radio module (868 MHz, 902 MHz, 921MHz or 928 MHz) then you automatically inherit the Air Interface Certificate.
> Otherwise you have to perform test steps described in the Air Interface Certification Specification.
> Just declare that your product implemented correct use of EEPs/GPs according to the current EnOcean Alliance specifications. Or if deviates, then this deviation was documented and published to the TWG chair. Declare that the Radio- and Energy-Performance meets the requirements of the use cases of the product. To declare there is a template available. Just fill out, sign by responsible manager and upload the document to the certification documents section of the product in the EnOcean Alliance product data base.
> If you are applying for “Self-Certified for IoT” certificate, then additionally with declaration that the products support the latest EnOcean Alliance enhanced security (encryption and authentication) specification.
> After latest 2 weeks you will get an approval message and a certificate issued by Email. Or you will be contacted if some information is missing.
The corresponding phases of the EnOcean Alliance Certification Process follow the objective to support the product development process without additional extra efforts:
> Preparation phase: To identify test-cases to be passed.
> Testing phase: Execution and successful completion of test cases defined
> Documentation phase: Documentation of the results of the tests performed
> Review phase: Secure high-level of quality of interoperability
> Promotion phase: Use and market the EnOcean Alliance technology logo for certified products
There are two ways to execute a certification process:
> Self-certification by the device manufacturer confirming a positive pass of the test-cases declared to be mandatory. Usually, these tests have to be anyway performed during the development.
> Certification by accredited test laboratories. A list is available from the certification manager.
To reach these certification levels the following steps have to be performed:
To apply there is a template available.
Preparation phase
- Select a certified radio platform for your product. A valid certification of a platform will be handed, so no air interface certification is needed for developing a product based on a certified platform.
- Define what profiles the product will support (inbound and outbound) and what profiles you want to certify.
- Document the test plan with the appropriate test steps.
Testing phase
- If you are not using a certified radio platform for your product, perform Air interface Certification tests and document results. To document there is a template.
- Perform Radio Performance certification tests and document results.
- Perform Communication Profile certification tests and document results. A tool is available to guide the tester and generate the documentation. This tool confirms also enhanced security (encryption and authentication) EnOcean Alliance compliance which is needed for the certification level “Alliance-Verified for IoT”.
- If your device is energy-harvested, perform Energy Harvesting certification tests and document results.
Documentation phase
- Fill the submission template for the certification request sign on behalf of the company and attach it to the test documentation files.
- Enter the product data in the product database on the EnOcean Alliance web site and upload all test documentation. If you don’t want to publish the product data at the time of certification skip this step and send the test documentation to the EnOcean Alliance Certification manager.
Review phase
- The Certification manager will check your submission. If all documentation is complete he issues a certificate for the product and marks the product certified in the data base.
Promotion phase
- You are now allowed to use the certified product logo on your product. Download now the Brand Guidelines (PDF) and the EnOcean Alliance Technology Logo (zip).
Your Contact
If you have any questions on the EnOcean Alliance certification policy, please contact certification@enocean-alliance.org
To support the proper implementation of the system specifications the EnOcean Alliance developed a set of certification specifications following the OSI-layer model:
If your product does not meet the certification requirements it seems that it is not interoperable or does not meet the minimum performance requirements. To secure your business, check whether you can modify your product to meet the certification requirements.
Non certified products are not allowed to use the certified product logo on the product and will not be found in the product database by searching interoperable devices.
No, regulatory testing can take place before, after or at the same time with EnOcean Alliance certification testing.
