Matter™ Testing & Certification
Supporting manufacturers in preparing connected products for Matter certification
Smart home devices often belong to different ecosystems and use different connectivity technologies, making it difficult for them to work together.
Developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, Matter™ is an open, universal standard that provides a common communication layer designed to support secure communication and interoperability between compatible products from different manufacturers and across smart home platforms.
Built on existing technologies such as Wi‑Fi, Thread, and Ethernet, Matter helps simplify the integration of connected products and supports a more open smart home ecosystem.
DEKRA is recognized by the Connectivity Standards Alliance as an Authorized Test Lab (ATL) for Matter, offering pre-certification, conformance, and interoperability testing, along with technical guidance to help manufacturers prepare their products for certification.
Matter is developed by the Connectivity Standards Alliance™. This brand, related logos, and marks are trademarks of the Alliance, all rights reserved.
Why Certify Your Matter Product?
Matter certification helps manufacturers demonstrate that their products meet the Connectivity Standards Alliance's applicable requirements and supports interoperability within the Matter ecosystem.
Once a product is certified, manufacturers can use the Matter Certified mark according to Alliance rules, and list products in the Alliance’s certified products database. Certification can also help build confidence among customers and technology partners and support commercial opportunities in international markets.
