Thread certification process

Because many critical appliances and devices around the house need to be connected at all times every day, Thread technology has been developed to ensure uninterrupted connectivity with low power consumption. Designed with the home in mind, Thread is a simple, secure and efficient networking protocol based on a robust, self-healing mesh network with no unilateral point of failure.

Although the timeline for Thread testing and certification is planned according to the needs of each specific product, members follow a quick and efficient general process made up of the following steps:

  1. Member applies for certification on Thread website
  2. Member schedules services with an Authorized Test Lab (ATL)
  3. ATL receives two samples and begins testing
  4. ATL reports test results on Thread certification system
  5. Thread reviews test results
  6. Thread issues certification

Successful devices are distinguished as a “Thread certified component” and “Built on Thread” ensuring reliable interoperability within the smart home network environment. Thread compatible devices can be installed and integrated easily and consume low amounts of energy. Battery-operated devices are therefore able to operate over long periods of time.

As a globally authorized Thread Group testing lab, we provide comprehensive Thread testing and certification for a wide range of other test standards. With our global network of experts, long history of successful product testing and certification services, we ensure your wireless household product is up to date with current standards and is able to effectively interact with all other wireless components found within any smart home environment.
