The OpenChain Project has always offered online self-certification support, and we are delighted to announce that this has been improved for our two ISO/IEC standards:

• Online Self-Certification for OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 for open source license compliance
• Online Self-Certification for OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974 for open source security assurance

Any organization can self-certify to OpenChain ISO/IEC 5230 or OpenChain ISO/IEC 18974. It is as simple as answering “yes” to all the questions on the online form. If an organization cannot answer “yes” to all of the questions, it does not yet meet the requirements of the standard.

Please note that this is a self-certification, and an organization is solely responsible for the accuracy of the statements it makes about conformance.
