The IEEE 1588™-2008 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is capable of establishing a common time reference and synchronization across a system for realizing the applications that will ensure the reliability and resiliency of the grid of the future. The IEEE Conformity Assessment Program (ICAP) in collaboration with industry stakeholders, have come together to develop a certification program that allows vendors to demonstrate that clocks meet the requirements of the PTP standard and its associated power profile specific parameters; IEEE C37.238-2017 and IEC/IEEE 61850-9-3 2016.
The IEEE 1588 Power Profile Conformance Test Suite Specification (TSS) was developed specifically for demonstrating conformance with the PTP Power Profile standards. The TSS is freely available for download.
Certified products will be listed on the ICAP Product Registry and be eligible for use of the IEEE 1588 Power Profile Certification Mark.
* Note: Products submitted for certification must supply a test report from an ICAP Accredited Test Lab

The Precision Time Protocol – Telecommunications Certification Program
ICAP has also provided a certification program for PTP – Telecommunications to assess the conformance of IEEE 1588™-2008 implementations over telecommunications, smart grid, Internet television and digital audio and video broadcasting. The certification program pertained to telecommunications environments, using the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) Telecom Profile for frequency synchronization, defined in the Recommendation ITU-T G.8265.1. This program is no longer active.
