Is there a compliance program for ExpressCard products?
The PCMCIA has developed a compliance program in conjunction with programs offered by the PCI-SIG and USB-IF. All PCMCIA members are eligible to submit their products into the Compliance Program. Products are tested for interoperability to ensure that they work with other existing compliant ExpressCard products. In addition, product manufacturers must perform a series of tests designed by PCMCIA which ensure that the product was designed in compliance with the ExpressCard Standard. Finally, manufacturers must document that they have used only compliant ingredients in their module or host designs (e.g. connectors and PCI Express and/or USB silicon.) Products which pass these tests display the ExpressCard name and logo and are eligible to be listed on the ExpressCard Resource Directory.
