The new center will provide global validation service in support of OCP Foundation's vision for open sourced hardware.

The ITRI OCP Certification Testing Center offers a unique combination of technology know-how, non-profit status, and geographic proximity to key vendors in support of the OCP ecosystem worldwide and has already conducted OCP's first global certification. Being a trusted and knowledgeable partner to both OCP buyers and OCP vendors worldwide, the new center is a key anchor in promoting the adoption of OCP solutions.

A leading contributor and primary maintainer of OCP Certification Packages, this center will be actively engaged in both technical and policy setting processes within the OCP Compliance and Interoperability (C&I) Community.

“We continue to see companies in Taiwan play an important role in this growing ecosystem,” said Dr. Shyu Jyuo-min, ITRI President. “With the opportunity to buy certified products, the total available market for OCP products will grow significantly. ”
