The FDT Group certification process consists of three steps:

1.) At first the manufacturer develops a DTM and performs first internal tests. Then the manufacturer contracts an accredited test laboratory for an independent conformity test.

2.) Next, the test laboratory tests the software in compliance with the rules of the FDT certification office with the official certification tools “dtmINSPECTOR” and “frameINSPECTOR” and issues a test report.

3.) The manufacturer submits the test report to the certification office and, if all tests are passed, receives a certificate of conformance. The product is then added to the catalog of certified DTMs and Frame Applications on the FDT Group website.
