ZigBee Alliance
The ZigBee AllianceWhat is the ZigBee Alliance?The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.
Joining the ZigBee AllianceThere are three levels of membership in the ZigBee Alliance withdifferent entitlements:Adopter ($3,500USD/year): Offers access to final, approved specifications, use of the ZigBee Alliance logo, participation in interoperability events, and access to application Profile Task Group documents and activities.Participant ($9,500USD/year):Offers full participation in ZigBee Alliance working groups and member meetings, ability to earn voting rights in work groups, and early access to ZigBee Alliance specification.Promoter: ($50,000USD/year) Offers automatic voting rights in all working groups, final approval rights on all specifications, and a seat on the Alliance Board of Directors

on the ZigBee website
In order to use any ZigBee Alliance intellectual property for any commercial purpose, users must be Alliance members …Companies and individuals who are not Alliance members are notpermitted to use the ZigBee intellectual property for any commercial purposes. This includes the distribution of any free tools and products that promote the general business of the company. Furthermore, non-members are prohibited from using the ZigBee name, designations or logos in conjunction with product offerings.The ZigBee Specification is available free of charge to individuals, companies and institutions for all non-commercial purposes, including university research, technical evaluation, and development of non-commercial software, tools, or documentation.

Certification and Compliance
Certification and Compliance What are ZigBee Certified Products?
The ZigBee Alliance promotes the development of products that are fully compliant with the ZigBee standard. Through certification testing, you can ensure your products successfully co-exist or interoperate with other ZigBee Certified Products. ZigBee products are certified with either a Manufacturer Specific Application Profile or a Public Application Profile.
A Manufacturer Specific Application Profile is an application developed by a member.
A Public Application Profile is developed by the Alliance and is available to all members (HA or SE at this time). Both Manufacturer Specific Application Profiles and Public Application Profiles must be implemented on ZigBee Compliant Platforms.
Note that ZigBee compliance testing does not include ETSI/FCC/ARIB testing. There are a number of test houses in this business.
Certification process ...7
ZigBee Certification Process1. Join the ZigBee Alliance 2. Apply for certification 3. Submit product(s) to test provider 4. Test provider notifies Alliance of success5. Member company provides declaration of
conformity 6. Alliance conformation of membership, review,
audit and approval 7. Notification & publication of certification
8. Certification Logo

Private Profiles
Private Profiles Your Own Profile
You can maintain ZigBee compliance without allowing others access to your network via a Manufacturer Specific Application ProfileHundreds of Manufacturer Specific Application Profiles are already registeredPublic profiles, like the Home Automation Profile and Smart Energy allow interoperability between products Proprietary profiles are intended to limit interoperability at the application level, but can also limit network interoperabilityProfile IDs are distributed by the Alliance to members. You must request a profile ID for your proprietary profile
