Datacolor Certify Program will focus on the following three elements as part of the certification:

Environmental conditions

Temperature and humidity levels can affect how color will look on the final product. It is important to keep your environmental conditions within the recommended range. Datacolor will also evaluate the daily log of conditions and how standards are stored.

Equipment

For the Datacolor Certify Program, light booths and spectrophotometers must be under an annual service contract. The instruments’ performance, conditions and usage will also be tested to make sure they comply with program standards. Software version, configuration and support will be checked as part of the assessment as well as antivirus protection.

For the Datacolor Certify Visual Program, only lightbooths will be evaluated. Spectrophotometers, software and antivirus protection are not included in this assessment program.

Operator’s expertise

Success of the entire color development cycle is highly dependent upon operators. Their skills and knowledge will be evaluated during an initial pre-assessment test that is taken online. During the onsite assessment, a Datacolor representative will evaluate each operator’s understanding of procedures and equipment usage and test their color vision.
