The COTS TÜV Mark As
a supplier to military subcontractors and prime contractors, finding a
way to differentiate your Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) products as
being tested and certified to meet MIL-STD requirements has been a difficult
task. With many COTS products claiming to meet MIL-STD requirements while
only being self-certified to minimum safety requirements, the market has
become cluttered with COTS products that look similar, but meet different
levels of safety and compatibility. How can a COTS product user identify
the difference?
Introducing the COTS TÜV Mark from TÜV Product Service. The new COTS TÜV Mark was designed to provide an easy and reliable way to identify COTS products sold in the marketplace that will function properly when installed with a military product's final equipment or system. The COTS TÜV Mark removes the dilemma of trying to determine if independent analysis, evaluation, and testing have been completed to qualify a product for electrical, electromagnetic, and environmental engineering standards of the U.S. military. The COTS TÜV Mark essentially provides manufacturers a visible certification mark that offers the unique distinction of differentiating a COTS product from products that have been self-certified by a manufacturer as meeting minimum market safety requirements. Users of COTS products will also find the COTS TÜV Mark provides clear distinction, allowing users to easily identify equipment that truly complies with necessary military standards such as MIL-STD-704E, MIL-STD-810F or MIL-STD-901D.
