Certification FAQ
Once your application is submitted, you will be provided a formal invoice. A payment in full is required to start the certification testing and review.
Yes, a product may be listed on both directories if you can demonstrate that you are actively selling to both consumer and business audiences (i.e. you sell a product under your own brand and also as a white label product for others to rebrand; or you sell fitness equipment to both home and club markets).
There is no extra charge to list on both directories.

No. For authorization to apply ANT+ brands, logos or wordmarks to any product or claim ANT+ compatibility in any way, all implemented profiles must be certified.
It is true that for hardware products, the more profiles implemented, the higher the certification charge, because the actual testing will be conducted. To ease the concern on the rising certification fees, there is a cap set below $4000 for ANT+ alliance members and $8000 for adopters.
For phone apps and consumer downloadable software products, the certification fee remains the same regardless how many profiles are implemented.
Apply for a Type 2 certification for the new profiles added to your product. Only the new, uncertified profiles will require testing. Your directory listing will be updated upon successful completion.
Remote testing is available on request under the following circumstances:
• your product is large, heavy and expensive to ship (i.e. fitness equipment)
• your product is expensive to export (i.e. high value products)
• you have another situation that inhibits the shipment of a sample
The remote certification test involves a video conference call in which your engineers will conduct the testing under the direction of an ANT+ test engineer. Data is recorded and collected for assessment (you will not be given results during the call – this will be provided at a later date in a certification report).
Additional charges apply for this type of testing.
