== OCPP Certification Process ==

The Open Charge Alliance - OCA has launched an independent [https://www.emobilitysimplified.com/2019/12/all-about-open-charge-point-protocol-certification-program.html OCPP certification program], through which the charging point (EVSE) manufacturers and Charging Station Management System providers (CSMS / back office) are now be able to conform their OCPP 1.6 implementations according to the official OCPP specification.

This certification program will help the EVSE manufactures & CSMS platform to exhibit a clear status of their OCPP implementation to their clients. Likewise, it will also be beneficial for the consumers of the OCPP products without a need to test & validate the implementation themselves.

For now only OCPP 1.6 can be fully tested and certified. OCPP versions older than OCPP 1.6 (such as OCPP 0.7, OCPP 1.2, and OCPP 1.5) as well OCPP 2.0 are not covered under the current OCPP certification program. Open Charge Alliance has defined a set of test procedures and test plans for the certification compliance. The actual tests will be performed by independent testing laboratories. So far, OCA has selected three laboratories '''DNV-GL, KSGA and Dekra, which are present in North America, Europe and in Asia.'''
