A Revelation: IOP’ s are Very Important

• Benefits from requiring an Interoperability Test (IOP) grew in importance as CIM Standard evolved

• Two main types of IOP’s:– IOP to validate revisions to Standard– IOP for specific utility project (it is NOT FAT/SAT)

• Involves utility, vendor, neutral test administrator
