Transfer of TI’s Wi-Fi Alliance Certifications to CC3x00/CC3x20/CC3x35-Based Product Using the WFA Derivative Certification Policy

Transfer of TI’s Wi-Fi Alliance® Certifications to CC3x00/CC3x20/CC3x35-Based Product Using the WFA Derivative Certification Policy

This document explains how to employ the Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) derivative certification transfer policy [1] to transfer a WFA certification, already obtained by Texas Instruments™, to a system you have developed.

Texas Instruments has obtained Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the CC3100, CC3200, CC3120, CC3220, CC3135, and CC3235x devices and modules. End products you create that use these devices or modules are eligible for consideration under the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative certification policy.

The transfer of a certification using the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative certification policy is a time- and money-saving mechanism that allows you to mark your system with a Wi-Fi Alliance logo and claim that your system is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED™ without having to visit a Wi-Fi Alliance Authorized Test Lab to perform the certification tests.

(2) Also certified in “router” category.

2 Transferring Texas Instruments Wi-Fi Alliance Certification to Your Product

Following are the two basic requirements to transfer a Wi-Fi Alliance certification from Texas Instruments using the Wi-Fi Alliance derivative policy.

  • Your company must be a member of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
  • To verify membership, visit http://www.wi-fi.org/who-we-are/member-companies.

  • Your system must be based on a certified product from Texas Instruments that is listed in Table 2 (the list is current as of January 2020). New products may be added in the future. Full certificate details are available from http://www.wi-fi.org/certified-products-advanced-search.

If your product uses a TI component shown in the column Model in Table 2, you can transfer the corresponding Wi-Fi Alliance certification for the Texas Instruments component to your product by following the steps described in Section 3.

NOTE

The CC3120 and CC3220 devices have the same individual Wi-Fi Alliance certifications that cover both chip and module products from Texas Instruments. However, the CC3100 and CC3200 devices have separate Wi-Fi Alliance certifications for the chip and module components.

3 Steps to Transfer the Certification for the TI Component to Your Product

You can initiate the transfer without directly involving Texas Instruments with the following steps.

NOTE

The screen shots in this document were correct at the time of publication. Be aware that the Wi-Fi Alliance may modify the certification system web interface in the future.

  1. Log into the Wi-Fi Alliance certification system using the following link:
  2. https://certifications.prod.wi-fi.org/member/dashboard

    NOTE

    Access requires company membership with the Wi-Fi Alliance and also requires that you have established a personal Single Sign On login account.

  3. After you log in to the WFA certification system, the next web page shows the status of the certification applications associated with your company. The page will have the format shown in Figure 1.
  4. cc3xxx-wifi-alliance-certification-system-01-dashboard-swra458.pngFigure 1. Dashboard Page
  5. Click the Start New Application button (shown in Figure 1) to get to the page shown in Figure 2.
  6. cc3xxx-wifi-alliance-certification-system-02-application-options-swra458.pngFigure 2. Application Options Page
  7. Select New Derivative Product Certification. Select Texas Instruments as the source company from the drop-down menu.
  8. Select your company as the target for the derivative certification.
  9. Select the TI certificate to use as the source for the derivative certification you are requesting.
  10. Click the Next Step button to view the pop-up window shown in Figure 3.
  11. cc3xxx-wifi-alliance-certification-system-03-acknowledge-swra458.pngFigure 3. Acknowledge Page
  12. Accept the confidentiality acknowledgment pop-up.
  13. You will then be taken through a series of pages where you will provide information about your system. The first page allows you to enter basic information about your product. It also requests that a vulnerability test report should be attached to prove a security vulnerability test has been run. Suitable report files can be downloaded from the Texas Instruments web site link: http://www.ti.com/tool/simplelink-cc3xxx-certification.
  14. Download the zip file containing the Texas Instruments vulnerability test reports. The zip file contains several vulnerability reports. Select the report that matches the Texas Instruments certification that you are transferring to your product. The mapping between Texas Instruments certifications and vulnerability reports is shown in Table 3.

    cc3xxx-wifi-alliance-certification-system-05-product-information-swra458.pngFigure 4. Product Information Page
  17. The page shown in Figure 5 allows you to describe your product designation.
  18. cc3xxx-wifi-alliance-certification-system-06-product-designators-swra458.pngFigure 5. Product Designator Page

After completing the product information and designation pages, you will be given an opportunity to review your overall application and then you will pay the certification transfer fee.

Wi-Fi Alliance staff will then review your application, and if everything is in order, they will grant the derivative certification. After the certification is granted, you will be allowed to apply the relevant Wi-Fi Alliance logo to your product (see Figure 6), and a certification will be listed under your company name in the Wi-Fi Alliance certification database.
