Line 11:
OCPP also makes it easier to create a large-scale, visible network that uses a range of different charging stations since there is a requirement for only one operating system. Proponents of OCPP also cite a reduction in development costs since software designed to provide additional functionality would only need to be developed once and not several times to fit with each individual operating system. Finally, OCPP will ease interoperability across the United States, and elsewhere, and minimize remedial work on systems.<ref name="switchev1"/>
== OCPP Certification Process ==
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
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.'''
To become OCPP certified, the tested Device Under Test (DUT), must successfully pass the following two categories of tests:
Line 27 ⟶ 24:
'''2. Performance measurements:''' several performance values of the tested DUT are measured and give an idea how the device behaves in a lab environment. The performance parameters are stated by the vendor in the Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (PICS).
