1. Introduction
The standard and the certification process are owned and maintained by the Connectivity Standards Alliance CSA. Membership is required for the certification of end products.
2 types of certification are defined:
- Platform Certification
- Zigbee Compliant Platform (FFD/RFD)
- End Product Certification
- Zigbee 3.0 Certified Product (FFD/RFD)
- Zigbee Smart Energy Product (FFD/RFD)
2. Zigbee Platform Certification
This certification intends to check Zigbee protocol stack (ZDO / APS / NWK) conformance against Zigbee PRO standard.
Depending on device type (FFD/RFD), dedicated tests set applies.
Green Power Proxy tests (GPP) may be run as part of Zigbee Platform certification.
802.15.4 MAC & PHY certification has to be performed before running Zigbee Compliant Platform certification tests.
3. End Product Certification
3.1. Zigbee 3.0 Certification
This certification intends to check Zigbee End Product interoperability & application middleware (ZCL cluster library / BDB)
Depending on device type (FFD/RFD), dedicated BDB tests set applies.
Zigbee Green Proxy cluster (GPP) is mandatory to get Zigbee 3.0 certificate in FFD device case.
Zigbee Compliant platform certification has to be performed before running Zigbee 3.0 certification tests.
3.2. Zigbee Smart Energy Certification
Zigbee SE Certification can only be performed with a real End Product with dedicated Hw such as Power Meter / Gas Meter. As a result, Zigbee SE Certification is not applicable to STM32WB.
2 flavours of SE certification are defined : ZigBee Smart Energy v1.2b / ZigBee Smart Energy v1.4
Zigbee SE certification intends to check Zigbee End Product interoperability & application middleware (ZCL cluster library / BDB)
Zigbee Compliant platform certification has to be performed before running Zigbee SE certification tests.
