NEC provides a conformance program with charge for testing and validating newly-developed applications.
| Conformance tests | Connection tests will be implemented jointly with our company. Drafting test items and scheduling are also worked in collaboration. |
| Coverage of certification | This certification covers up to API/ protocol disclosure interface. |
| Issuance of certification | A connection test will be performed on partners’ products which are developed based on the API/protocol disclosure interface. A certification is issued after the entire tests are performed without any problems. Our certification does not apply to versions that have not been conformance tested. The certification does also cover equipment quality issue and software bugs. |
| Version upgrade (Partners need to satisfy either one of the two options.) | Conformance tests must be performed on the upgraded versions to assure compatibility. |
| If tests are not performed on the new versions, the previous version must be maintained for four years unless the specific version is discontinued. (This obligation applies to NEC and partners.) | |
| In the case of failure (Partners need to satisfy either one of the two options.) | Joint testing will be implemented until a successful conformance result is achieved. |
| Applications must be protected to prevent operation errors and documentation must elucidate the relevant constraints. |
Conformance tests are performed on three consecutive days at Conformance Center from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
