specifications

Test authors? Compliance Working Group (cmpwg)

Interfaces

Am I Certified? Passing the CTT does not mean you are certified

by the OPC Foundation. It means that your

product is ready for certification in a Test Lab.

CTT used in Lab? Yes, test-labs use the current release

version(s).

Use CTT When?The best time is during product development. All

Classic products must pass the CTT prior to

release.
