Help for New Users - Creating a New Company Account in order to Login
A company account needs to be established once in order to submit
products for certification.
There are a number of roles designated within a company account, the
authorized signatory,technical contact,alternate
technical contact, finance contact and marketing contact.
It is the technical and alternate technical contacts that
enter the system for product registration.
To register a product, you must already be registered as the
designated Technical or Alternate contact for a company that has
applied and been accepted into the program (see below). Please take the
following steps to register your company and its contacts (you need
only do this once for your company) :-
- Firstly you need a username & password to register your company,
so if you don't yet have one please obtain
one from The Open Group's secure web site. After you have
created your personal account you should receive confirmation by email
of your login and password details.
If you already have an account you can proceed immediately to create a
New Company Account.
- Next you will need to enter your company name and accept the terms
and conditions of the POSIX Certification program for entry into the
system.
- To register your company, you need to provide information about
your company (name, place of incorporation, address)
and specify the name and contact information for the
following contacts:
- The Authorized Signatory who will authorize your company's
registration. The Authorized Signatory must be someone who is authorized
to enter into legal commitments on behalf of the company.
- The Technical Contact, who will be the primary contact for all
certification-related issues. The Technical Contact and the Alternate
Contact, if specified, are the only users who will have the ability to
register products or services using the POSIX web certification system.
- An optional Alternate Contact, who will be the back-up for the
Technical Contact and also have access to the web certification system
to register products
- The Financial Contact, who will be the contact for any payment and/or
invoicing issues
-
An optional Marketing Contact, who will be the contact for any marketing-related certification issues
- After entry of the above information, this system will send electronic
mail to your designated Authorized Signatory who will need to reply
by electronic mail. The Certification Authority will
verify the response (usually on the next working day) and if the requirements are met, your organization will be
accepted for entry into the POSIX Certification system. At this stage
you will be sent an email confirming acceptance of your company
application.
When all the above steps are complete you will then be able to progress
to the next stage, in which your Technical and Alternate contacts can
login to enter the Product Registration details using the
Login link.
If you encounter difficulties with the login please contact the
POSIX Certification Authority.
