PCMCIA today announced that MCCI has been selected as the first US Test House to offer compliance testing for the ExpressCard Standard.
MCCI, a USB-IF certified test lab, was approved as a third-party test house for ExpressCard products by the PCMCIA board. MCCI is the second test house to be approved to test ExpressCard products to ensure that they meet the Standard's requirements.
The multi-step ExpressCard compliance program assures interoperability. The first step requires manufacturers to submit an approved product compatibility checklist. The second step requires formal interoperability testing, which consists of (1) a standardized test procedure conducted between participating host systems and module products and (2) a set of mandatory tests against a "gold" suite of compliant host systems and modules. This can be done either through a test house or PCMCIA-sponsored workshop.
