ITxPT Labeling

Before a product can be granted the ITxPT label, it must pass extensive compliance tests conducted by the ITxPT laboratory. This evaluation process ensures that the product complies with the ITxPT technical specifications, ensuring interoperability and a smoother integration process.

The ITxPT technical specifications can be found in the ITxPT documentation center, which you can access by registering free of charge.

Any supplier can apply for the ITxPT label from the Documentation Center, which certifies that the vehicle, equipment, software or service complies with ITxPT standards and specifications. The ITxPT label is granted after successful completion of the labeling process defined below. It is mandatory to complete all the steps of the labeling process.

Scope

The label can be applied to a:

  • vehicle
  • module hardware and/or module software
  • back-office

The ITxPT label is offered as part of a clear, step-by-step process supported by the ITxPT laboratory. It should be noted that the tests only assess technical compliance and not functional performance. 

The compliance test templates describe the test report used to validate the compliance with the related specification. These templates can be found in the Test templates page.

Conditions

The labelling process can only begin once you have actively implemented the ITxPT specifications, i.e. once your development phase is complete. Make sure that you have analysed and understood the purpose of the interoperability defined by the ITxPT specifications, which are provided free of charge in the documentation centre.

The ITxPT laboratory will not support any development and will not provide any code or test tools.

Unsolved errors or regression after error correction will result in failure of the compliance tests and will terminate the labelling process.
Failure will not be taken into account in future labelling processes. Instead, it should be seen as a valuable learning opportunity. Suppliers are encouraged to re-apply for labeling after resolving the issues identified in the initial tests, using the lessons learned to improve the chances of success.

Timing

By applying, you commit to complete the labelling process within a maximum of 4 months. All requests are added to the compliance tests requests queue managed by the ITxPT laboratory on a 1st-come (fee paid), 1st-served basis and on its availability. The ITxPT laboratory will inform each applicant in due time of the specific start and end dates of its labeling process, which should generally be completed within a maximum of 4 months. 

Fee

Before starting any step further, you will have to pay a fee or use a credit (see membership). The detailed fee is described in the compliance service page. Note that travel and logistics costs are excluded from the service and must be managed by the applicant. A quotation is sent after reviewing your label request.
