Functional Certification
For SE and TEE products
The program evaluates the functional behavior of a product against the requirements outlined by GlobalPlatform configurations and associated specifications to achieve market interoperability. Independent testing provides confirmation that a digital service will perform as intended in the field on any certified product, regardless of the product provider.
GlobalPlatform acts as registration authority for all qualification claims. It has launched a dedicated Secretariat which manages the issuance of the qualified trademark to test tools and laboratories, as well as oversee product certification. For an overview of the Secretariat’s role and the processes implemented by GlobalPlatform to manage this program, download An Introduction to GlobalPlatform Compliance Secretariat.

This document also explains the respective responsibilities between product vendor, test tool supplier, test laboratory and GlobalPlatform.
