[Conformance test flow]

1. There are 2 types of conformance tests; a test conducted by a manufacturer and a test done by CLPA.
Please conduct the manufacturer's tests first as described in the conformance test specifications.
2. After completing these, make a request to CLPA for a conformance test.
3. After we receive the test device, we will arrange a test date with our testing laboratory.
The basic test period is two weeks.
4. After the test is completed, we inform you of the result.
5. After a successful test, CLPA will issue a test certificate, report and invoice.

Regular members and above can obtain conformance test specifications and a test request sheet.
You can download them from the Members Site in the CLPA website for free.

For CC-Link IE Field Network Basic, you can do the test yourself, using a CLPA software tool.
