Certification Process
The DECT Forum conducts a certification process through which members can have their products tested for compliance by partnering with established industry test houses. Upon passing the required tests, the test house informs the DECT Forum and members can then apply for official certification by paying a fee. Certified products are subsequently listed on the DECT Forum website.
