The Certification Work Group must develop the test methods to validate that an 8K TV meets the rigorous performance and interface requirements set forth in the 8K TV Technical Specification. This group also works with manufactures to validate self-certification results and to audit third party test labs to test 8K TVs to the 8KA spec. This group also will perform market audits of available Certified 8K TVs to validate the as-manufactured products still meet the 8KA specification.
