Q10（Questions） In the description of the procedure from membership to product release it is stated that "certification testing is not mandatory", but are there any restrictions or other considerations if no certification testing is done?

A（Answers）

If the product is one where MECHATROLINK is used within the unit but makes no connections to other MECHATROLINK-compatible products, certification testing is not mandatory.
If the product is one that makes connections to MECHATROLINK-compatible products available on the market (controllers, servos, I/O modules, etc.), you are strongly recommended to receive certification testing.
Generally, products that are available on the market have all passed the testing.

In some cases, products that have not been certified may be excluded from participation in MMA sales promotion activities (exhibitions, catalogues, product catalogues, etc.).
