Overview

The IAI facilitates a certification process where software companies can establish a group to test the IFC interfaces. This group is facilitated by the IAI, but the responsibility for the quality of interfaces remains with the software company. The certification process is split into two phases, in step 1 the IFC interfaces are tested against an agreed set of unit test cases, whereas in step 2 the IFC interfaces are tested against project files coming from beta customers.

Each IFC certification is based on a view definition. An IFC view represents a subset of the IFC specification that is needed for a particular exchange scenario.


IFC2x3 Step 2 certification

The following companies participated in dual track certification workshops in Waltham, USA 12-13 March 2007, where some companies who have passed step-1 certification in Dijon continued in the step-2 certification and a few other companies went through step-1 certification. The following companies successfully demonstrated their ability to handle real user data with good quality of IFC and have been officially awarded certification with some conditions to be addressed in the coming workshop scheduled around May 21-23 in Helsinki.
