IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) IEEE/NPEC/SC 2 Meeting Shanghai, China October 14-17, 2013

IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) IEEE/NPEC/SC 2 Meeting (Sand Key) Clearwater Beach, Fl. May 14, 2014

IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) Standard Development Organizations (SDOs) including the IEEE are focused on the development of standards for industry or technology Once established, SDOs periodically review and update the standard based on industry Publication and sale of standard is typically the end of SDO involvement Application and usage becomes a business decision of the end user community Conformity assessment is the accepted way of demonstrating that a product adheres to a standard These assessments may take various forms based on business needs, ranging from self-declaration of conformance to independent third party verification of conformance Demand drivers are needed for a successful program to be realized Regulatory Mandates Vendors wishing to demonstrate compliance, Service Providers (or large purchasers) demanding a certification in order to procure IEEE Conformity Assessment Program

ICAP Completes the IEEE-SA Business/Standards Lifecycle ICAP is a Program of IEEE-ISTO Supported by IEEE-SA

ICAP may also support programs in support of non-IEEE Standards, though early focus is on IEEE Standards. ICAP is governed/supported by an agreement between IEEE-SA and IEEE-ISTO

Understanding Conformity Assessment

Understanding Conformity Assessment What is Conformity Assessment? Conformity Assessment is defined as the process or processes that are used to demonstrate that a product or service meets specified requirements (set forth in Standards, Test Plans, etc.) Conformity Assessment Provides assurance and confidence a product or service meets requirements Empowers the user to make better purchasing decisions Benefits the supplier as products may gain market acceptance Conformity Assessment Activities Include: Conformance, Interoperability, Inspection, Accreditation “Catch-all” term to address range of test-related activities

Types of Conformity Assessment 1st Party / Suppliers Declaration of Conformity (SDOC) Self Declaration ; Companies conduct their own testing 2nd Party Conformity Assessment Conformity assessment conducted by the end purchaser of products (e.g., Service Providers) to ensure purchased products are deemed compliant 3rd Party Conformity Assessment Conformity assessment being determined by an independent body. Related International Standards Accreditation Bodies – ISO/IEC 17011 Certification Bodies - ISO/IEC 17065 Test Labs – ISO/IEC 17025

Pillars to a successful program

*** IEEE Confidential *** ICAP Business Models Working Group Certification Process IEEE Std. completed Test Specification submitted to ICAP ICAP distributes test spec to selected labs Vendor submits equipment to one of the selected labs for testing Lab submits test report to ICAP ICAP issues a certificate, grants logo usage rights, and adds device to a registry Slide from Glen Kramer 6 June 2011 Piscataway, NJ *** IEEE Confidential *** 14

Certification Program Development Timeline Standard – > Test Specs - > Program Launch 9 months – 2 Years 6 months – 1 Year 6 months+ Standard Develops Standard Approved Test Specifications Developed Product Availability and Readiness Conformity Assessment Program Launch

Vendor and Utility Benefits Successful Certification Program will deliver value and benefits to Smart Grid ecosystem: Utility Benefits Ability to leverage a common, shared resource for certification and testing. Expanded base of compliant suppliers. Interoperability to minimize risks of deployment choices. Vendors Expanded potential national and global market Reduced burden for utility required testing.

ICAP Introduction

Active Programs Launched and Under Development

IEEE 1588 Telecom Certification Program Launch Update Program launched during ISPCS, 24-27 September 2013 in Lemgo, Germany Certified products will be announced sometime in Q2 2014 Working with IEEE Marketing to announce first-ever IEEE Certified products *** IEEE-ISTO and IEEE-SA Confidential ***

Programs Under Active Development SIEPON (IEEE 1904.1) Target program launch Q4’14 Standard approved - June 2013 Press Release issued on formation of SIEPON CASG – July 2013 Synchrophasor (IEEE C37.118) Target program launch Q3’14 Press Release issued on formation of SCASC – June2013 Final draft of Test Plan in progress IEEE 1588 Power (IEEE C37.238) Target program launch 1H 2015 Draft Test Plan under review by WG – target completion by Q3’14 Camera Phone Image Quality (CPIQ – IEEE P1858) Agreement to form CPIQ Conformity Assessment Steering Committee (CASC) *** IEEE-ISTO and IEEE-SA Confidential ***

Synchrophasor IEEE C37.118 Mission Participants Model The SCASC currently focuses on developing the standard as well as the test The goal is to provide Industry a developed and recognized test that provides Synchrophasor certification globally Market demand will dictate the next set of geographical test labs to conduct tests Model Build test around the Synchrophasor standard Driven by Industry through the IEEE working group Marketing Committee – provides marketing outreach, communication and market awareness Industry recognized – Technical Experts provide integrity to test spec development, documents and overall certification Develop test requirement documents, test case templates, test setup documents Formal review processes to ensure highest integrity of test suite ICAP Manages testing and certification, functioning both as the certification authority and process auditor to maintain test lab integrity Participants

Conformity Certification Deliverables Four deliverables awarded to successful equipment vendors Designed to promote certification in product sheets, presentations, websites, press releases, product launches Allows vendors to respond to Service Providers RFPs with certified compliant products Provides utilities and end-buyers with a high level of confidence when selecting certified products Certificate   Official statement of certification, serves as proof of compliance 1588 Certification Certified Logo Instant recognition of certified companies and products Test Report Full description of test parameters, procedures and results Certification Registry On-line listing of certified companies and products

IEEE Certification Mark

Certification Mark Defined A certification mark is any word, phrase, symbol or design, or a combination thereof owned by one party who certifies the goods and services of others when they meet certain standards. The owner of the mark exercises control over the use of the mark; however, because the sole purpose of a certification mark is to indicate that certain standards have been met, use of the mark is by others.
