On completion of the conformance test, a test report will be sent to SERCOS International. The customer will receive a copy of this report and a detailed
report of the test results.
Once a product passes the conformance test, the manufacturer can apply for a SERCOS interface certificate for that product. The SERCOS interface certificate confers certain rights to use the SERCOS name and trademark with that product, as specified in the
SERCOS Trademark Statutes and the
Application Guidelines. This certificate is provided free of charge to members of the SERCOS organizations. Cost to non-members is 500 Euros (about $630 U.S. dollars).
