Help for New Users - Creating a New Organization Account in order to Login

A organization account needs to be established once in order to submit products for certification. There are a number of roles designated within a organization account, the authorized signatory,technical contact,alternate technical contact, finance contact and marketing contact. It is these contacts that have the ability to use the certification system to register products.

On your first visit to this site you need to complete the following registration information.

1. Firstly you need a username & password to register your organization, so if you don't yet have one please obtain one from The Open Group's secure web site. After you have created your personal account you should receive confirmation by email of your login and password details. If you already have an account you can proceed immediately to create a New Organization Account.
2. To create a new organization account you will need to provide

   1. Details about your organization (name, place of incorporation, address);

   2. The name and contact information for the Authorized Signatory who will authorize your registration;
   3. The name and contact information for the Primary Organization Contact (and preferably an Alternate) who will be registering products in this system ;
   4. Optionally, the name and contact information for a Organization Marketing Contact on all certification related issues ; and
   5. The name and contact information for the Organization Financial Contact on all certification related payment issues.
3. You will need to accept the terms and conditions of certification for entry into the system.
4. After entry of the above information, this system will send electronic mail to your designated Authorized Signatory who will need to reply by electronic mail. The Certification Authority will verify the response (usually on the next working day) and if the requirements are met, your organization will be accepted for entry into the Certification system. At this stage you will be sent an email confirming acceptance of your organization registration.

Once the above is complete, your organization will then be able to progress to the next stage, where your designated contacts can login to enter the Product Registration process using the Login link.
 
If you encounter difficulties with the login please contact the Certification Authority.
