TNC Certification Program

For a member to have TNC products added to the Certified Product List, the member must provide proof of successful interoperability testing, successful compliance testing and completion of the application process.

Interoperability Testing

Interoperability Testing must be done at a TNC Plugfest as coordinated by the Compliance_TNC Sub Group 1-2 times per year. These events are funded by the vendors participating in testing at the events.

• Notify the Compliance_TNC Sub Group of your interest in participating in the next TNC Plugfest (you may contact them through certification@trustedcomputinggroup.org.)
• Participate in the next scheduled event and ensure your results are accurately reported to the TCG
