SUNSPEC AUTHORIZED TEST LABORATORIES
SunSpec Authorized Test Laboratories (SunSpec ATL) offer diverse skills to successfully fulfill interoperability, data communications and cybersecurity testing services. SunSpec ATLs include Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (NRTLs) that specialize in IEEE 1547/UL 1741 SB testing and data communication specialists.
All SunSpec ATLs meet relevant international standards (for competency, equipment calibration, record keeping and business processes), and provide interoperability test results that are then certified by SunSpec.

SUNSPEC AUTHORIZED TEST SOFTWARE PROVIDER PROGRAM
SunSpec Authorized Test Software Providers deliver software solutions to DER device manufacturers to help them develop, test, and certify their products–including solar and battery inverters, EV chargers, and generators–to the IEEE 1547-2018, UL 1741, SunSpec Modbus, IEEE 2030.5, and IEEE 1815 (DNP3) standards.
DER SECURITY
DER Security Corp is the publisher of the DERSec LabTest family of software products and the SunSpec AHJ Registry service. The DERSec LabTest family includes: SunSpec Dashboard, a solution for developing SunSpec Modbus communication interfaces; DERSec LabTest Plus, a communication protocol test solution for certifying products to the SunSpec Modbus standard; and DERSec LabTest Pro, fully automated functional- and interoperability test solution for certifying DER devices to the IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards.
DERSec LabTest Pro provides interoperability drivers for SunSpec Modbus, IEEE 2030.5, and DNP3 and lab equipment drivers for an array of AC simulators, DC simulators, and power scopes.
QUALITY LOGIC
QualityLogic is an internationally recognized leader in software testing tools and services and the first official SunSpec Authorized Test Software Provider. With nearly four decades of testing experience, the company is a proven partner in the Smart Energy sector and was the first to develop IEEE 2030.5 test tools in 2010.
In 2018, QualityLogic became a key partner in developing the SunSpec CSIP test specification, and its IEEE 2030.5 tools were the first to implement the SunSpec CSIP CA Rule 21 test specification. These tools are currently being used by leading test labs and vendors around the world to help the OEMs achieve SunSpec CSIP certified clients and servers. Building on this foundation, the company also provides IEEE 1547 test tools that provide interoperability and type testing of DER systems for UL 1741 standards and have added support for SunSpec Modbus and DNP3 interoperability testing. QualityLogic’s technical workshops have helped the DER industry to become knowledgeable about IEEE 2030.5 and 1547 standards.
