GSA Certification GSA Compliance testing is NOT Regulatory Approval

Independent testing by 3rd party lab using GSA tools and pre-defined test scripts

All parties benefit through Improved speed to market for products Products work together when they show up on your floor Plug and Play (easier installs, reduced service calls)

Protocol certification streamlines the Regulatory process Reduces the quantity and variety of tests that must be performed

If both devices are certified, they should work together the first time they are connected (like your PC and printer)
