Welcome to the Global Certification Forum

Drawing together leading players from across the mobile industry, the Global Certification Forum (GCF) is an independent certification scheme for mobile phones and wireless devices that are based on 3GPP standards.

With a philosophy of 'test once, use anywhere', and an industry agreed set of Certification Criteria that include conformance, field trial & IOT requirements, GCF aims to ensure that a mobile device will work effectively on mobile networks anywhere in the world.

GCF members include leading mobile network operators representing all the key markets worldwide, around 50 device manufacturers and other stakeholders such as test system suppliers and test laboratories.
