Certification
The True Test of Interoperability
In order to indicate smart lighting and smart city system components from different vendors are interoperable, the TALQ-Certified logo has been designed. Only products that are certified by the TALQ Consortium are allowed to carry the TALQ-Certified logo.
The TALQ Consortium facilitates vendors to apply for certification of their products by offering a TALQ Test Tool suite. This enables them to test whether or not their designs pass various tests as defined in the TALQ Test Specification. The software also logs the results. Once the tests have been concluded successfully the log can be sent to the TALQ Consortium for verification. If the products are found to be compliant to the TALQ Specification they will be included in the TALQ Certified Products list on the website and the vendor will be licensed to use the TALQ-Certified logo on the product.
This way the TALQ Consortium aims to ensure maximum interoperability among products as well as providing an up to date list of compliant products to choose from.
