==OCP ACCEPTED Product ==

All OCP Accepted products must aligned to a prior Incubation Committee approved specification (aka SPECIFICATION) that has been submitted to the Incubation Committee and been approved by vote of the Incubation Committee.  

Products making the claim of compliance with an approved specification SHALL at a minimum, follow all requirements defined as mandatory by the use of the following keywords in that specification: SHALL - MUST - WILL - REQUIRED.  Such products may also provide ''recommended'' features associated with the keyword “SHOULD” and ''permitted'' features associated with the keyword “MAY”.  A product may called OCP ACCEPTED when the following two groups of criteria are met:

'''OCP ACCEPTED GROUP 1 CRITERIA:'''

ALL (6) of the following criteria are: 

*'''MUST''' be a product that has been manufactured 
*'''MUST''' be available for purchase by any member company within 120 days of receiving OCP ACCEPTED recognition.  This will be subject to audit, approval, and, if approval is not met, revocation of OCP ACCEPTED status, by OCP Foundation Staff. 
*'''MUST''' meet all criteria in the SPECIFICATION described as “SHALL” or “MUST” or “WILL” or “REQUIRED”.  '''NO''' exceptions are allowed.  
*The submitter has completed a self-assessment AND attests that EACH SKU (orderable part number) meets the criteria.
*Submitter / Requestor has sent the self-assessment documentation to the Foundation.
*Submitter HAS provided the Foundation with the list of SKUs and orderable part numbers, and the documentation necessary for a re-assessment to be completed by the Foundation lab director or a 3rd Party designee, and the Foundation Staff.   Acceptable documentation can be links to public information or documentation sent to the foundation.   It is the submitter’s responsibility to provide ALL the documentation to prove that specification criteria is met. 

'''OCP ACCEPTED GROUP 2 CRITERIA:'''

*After a product has met OCP ACCEPTED GROUP 1 criteria, the OCP Foundation will list the SKUs and orderable part numbers, published on the OCP web portal.

Upon publication on the OCP web portal, the Submitter may use the term “OCP ACCEPTED” per OCP terms and conditions.

'''OCP ACCEPTED NOTES'''

If a product does NOT meet the criteria in the SPECIFICATION described as “SHALL” or “MUST”,  the submitter is encouraged to contact the original SPECIFICATION author(s) with a list of differences and non-compliance.   The author(s) MAY create a modification or revision to the SPECIFICATION that would allow the submitter’s product to be reconsidered.  Alternatively, the submitter may author their own specification, get it approved by the relevant Project Groups and Incubation Committee, and submit for OCP ACCEPTED recognition against this new specification.
