Certification Management Program Why does oneM2M need certification management program? – Certification management program provides the consistency in the behavior of compliant devices and services, – Thereby, it can provide an assurance of interoperability between various manufacturers’ devices and services – Certification is granted through a testing process compliant to oneM2M specification and requirements Goals of Certification Management Program – Improving interoperability – Shortening the product adoption process – Lowering adoption costs and time – Making product implementations easier to integrate – Providing Confidence & Assurance to Regulators, Manufacturers, Retailers & Consumers © 2014 oneM2M Partners 2

Certification Management Program Elements © 2014 oneM2M Partners 3 Certification Management Program is administrated by Certification Entity and comprises as follows: I. Certification Policy and Requirements II. Certification Process III. Role of Certification Body IV. Testing Methodology and Scope V. Test Tool and Test Case Management VI. Certification(Logo) Marketing and Enforcement VII. OneM2M Test Events VIII. Authorized Test Lab Requirements ** Certification Management Program does not include tasks for conducting test ** Testing can be performed by member using self-testing tool or by authorized 3 rd party test lab according to the testing scope and methodology ** Certification Entity can designate the 3 rd party test lab through considering market demand and regional allocation

Available Certification Management Program Options Option 1 – oneM2M takes in charge of certification through creating a legal framework for certification & labelling by one or more of our Partners Option 2 – Having an independent Certification Entity outside of oneM2M (e.g., GCF) Option3 – Self-certification with self-declaration © 2014 oneM2M Partners 4

Certification Management Program - Option 1 Manage certification process and income budget effectively Develop Test Specs. expeditiously and accurately by WG6 and Certification Entity Reflect certification and testing issues instantly for member requests Strengths Partner type 1 members don’t have enough experience and resources for certification management It takes longer time to set-up and launch the certification program Weakness Multiple Partner Type 1 members are collaborating to run oneM2M Certification Body Concatenate the best certification consulting agency that has full experiences to establish and manage Certification Entity Test WG should support and collaborate to develop test specs. and certification management program with recognized Certification Entity Strategy

Certification Management Program - Option 2 Enforce the brand power for oneM2M logo through 3 rd Organizations e.g. GCF Set-up and establish suitable certification program professionally Strengths No control for certification process. Possibly end-up with high-cost and duplicate certifications (e.g., certifications for common service layer and verticals) Some works such as test spec. development and testing event from Test WG could be conflict to independent certification entity Weakness Negotiate with 3rd certification entity for establishing certification ecosystem (invest certification profits to the ecosystem, etc.) Have authority for certification works such as making program management policy, developing test specifications, management of testing lab, testing tools and test events, etc. Strategy

Need to Cooperate oneM2M and Certification Body – Option 1: oneM2M has internal Certification Body – Option 2: oneM2M has an independent certification Body outside Strategy for Option 1 & 2 7 TST Certification Entity TP SC Mutual Cooperation TST Certification Entity TP SC Approval for certification works ** **certification works: making program management policy, developing test specifications and management of testing lab, testing tools and test events controls, authorize exchanges test specifications and processes

Certification Management Program - Option 3 (Self-certification with self-declaration) No Certification fee, minimize cost and time Easily adopt oneM2M technology to products without barrier Strengths Limited scope of guarantees and assurance for interoperability between various manufacturers Weakness Provide self testing tool to check minimum testing requirement Strategy
