The initiative aligns GSMA and TMF certification processes and working group activities to streamline the validation of API specialisations across both organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining TMF\u2019s Conformance Test Kits (CTKs) and API design resources with GSMA\u2019s testing frameworks and operational coordination, the program enables enterprises to verify for technical compliance and interoperability. This unified approach promotes collaboration and strengthens interoperability across global ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Certification is currently free of charge for all participants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-certification-process\">Certification Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certification supports the GSMA Open Gateway initiative, enabling the ecosystem to collaborate seamlessly through the use of TM Forum Operate APIs. The process begins when an enterprise contacts GSMA and submits required details. GSMA and TMF then register the request and provide test resources to support TMF CTK and GSMA Postman-based self-testing. After successful results are submitted, GSMA validates the outcomes and TMF ratifies them. Once approved, both organisations publish the results and jointly issue co-certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process-1024x512.png\" alt=\"A red and white infographic titled \u201cConformance Certification Process\u201d outlines 8 steps, from \u201cStart process\u201d to \u201cCertification!\u201d Each step is detailed in a white text box with arrows connecting them, and GSMA Open Gateway branding appears in the top left corner.\" class=\"wp-image-45380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gsma.com\/solutions-and-impact\/gsma-open-gateway\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Conformace-Certification-Process.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-request-certification\">Request Certification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Channel partners and mobile network operators are encouraged to take the next step by submitting the form to begin their Joint Certification journey.
