Removed test prerequisite sections. Removed requirement for testing with HTTP. Changed the Server [S], Client [C] terminology to Server [S], Client [C], Test Server [TS], Test Client [TC]. Removed redundant tests: CORE-007, CORE- 008, CORE-020. Updated test criteria to clarify which system types for which each test is applicable and the role of each test element. SunSpec CSIP Conformance Test Procedures 3 SunSpec Alliance About the SunSpec Alliance The SunSpec Alliance is a trade alliance of developers, manufacturers, operators, and service providers together pursuing open information standards for the distributed energy industry. SunSpec standards address most operational aspects of PV, storage, and other distributed energy power plants on the smart grid, including residential, commercial, and utility-scale systems, thus reducing cost, promoting innovation, and accelerating industry growth. Over 100 organizations are members of the SunSpec Alliance, including global leaders from Asia, Europe, and North America. Membership is open to corporations, nonprofits, and individuals.

About the SunSpec Specification Process SunSpec Alliance specifications are initiated by SunSpec members to establish an industry standard for mutual benefit. Any SunSpec member can propose a technical work item. Given sufficient interest and time to participate, and barring significant objections, a workgroup is formed, and its charter is approved by the board of directors. The workgroup meets regularly to advance the agenda of the team. The output of the workgroup is generally in the form of a SunSpec Interoperability Specification. These documents are considered to be normative, meaning there is a matter of conformance required to support interoperability. The revision and associated process of managing these documents is tightly controlled. Other documents are informative, or make some recommendation with regard to best practices, but are not a matter of conformance. Informative documents can be revised more freely and more frequently to improve the quality and quantity of information provided. SunSpec Interoperability Specifications follow a lifecycle pattern of: DRAFT, TEST, APPROVED, and SUPERSEDED.
