WHC Pre-Certification (formerly WHQL)

WHQL Lab
SWAT Solutions is fully prepared to help you get your next product ready for certification by Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Certification (WHC), formerly known as WHQL. We have the technology and experience in our Lab to help you beat your deadline and ensure that Microsoft logo testing is complete and your hardware product is ready for delivery. We provide fast turn-around – between two days – to one week in most cases.

Using the latest Windows Hardware Certification pre-submission procedures, we will conduct WHC pre-certification testing and verify that your product is compatible with Microsoft Windows (i.e. Windows XP, VISTA, Windows 7, 8, RT, 2003 Server, 2003 R2 Server, 2008 Server, 2008 R2 Server and 2012 Server). And, if you wish, we will prepare the necessary paperwork required by Microsoft to initiate their hardware certification process.

SWAT’s WHC testing process is quick and easy:

  • You supply the new product and device drivers to our Lab.
  • SWAT provides the test equipment, installs the new product on our WHC configuration, runs Microsoft Windows Hardware Certification (WHC ) Test Procedures, and creates Log Files.
  • SWAT then assists you in analyzing the test results and advising you on defect resolution.
