Assess

Need support before determining your product’s certification readiness? 

Make sure to identify and choose the appropriate tools and/or cartridge(s). Certifications for a tool versus a cartridge vary slightly. Be sure to identify:

  • Cartridges
  • Read Tools - Tools that read in cartridges.
  • Write Tools - Tools that export or create cartridges.
  • Read/Write Tools - Tools that both read cartridges and export cartridges and are able to import and export the same cartridge(s).
  • Runners - Tools that allow you to import and play common cartridges.

Test

Use our 1EdTech Certification Suite to test as often as you like.

Do you have over 25 cartridges that are all generated the same way?
If so, test a subset (at least 25%) of the cartridges. A list of the remaining cartridges should be submitted with the relevant metadata contained to
conformance@imsglobal.org once the initial set of cartridges is validated.

Plus! Make sure to send your report from the validator, cartridges, and other certification materials to conformance@imsglobal.org.
