Overview
The Smart Systems Rating Program (SSRP) evaluates businesses on their use of intelligent technologies. Launched in 2010, SSRP focuses on practical improvements in efficiency, sustainability, and user experience. Key technologies assessed include IoT, AI, and automation. Certification levels range from Bronze to Platinum based on a company's performance and innovation.
Over 1,200 businesses have participated, including major partners like Microsoft and IBM. Statistics show companies with SSRP certification report an average 20% boost in operational efficiency. Important sectors include manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. The program's credibility is backed by annual audits and case studies highlighting successful implementations. SSRP helps businesses stay competitive and meet modern technology standards.
Requirements & Verification
Evidence Requirements
Applicants must submit documentation and technical evidence demonstrating their system's performance across six evaluation dimensions: control and automation, connectivity and interoperability, functional value, resiliency, digital experience, and at least one additional criterion. UL Solutions reviews product and system specifications, test data, and may conduct laboratory or on-site assessments to verify claims.
Prerequisites
Assessment Process
Assessment is conducted by UL Solutions evaluators who review submitted technical documentation and test data against six defined criteria: control and automation, connectivity and interoperability, functional value, resiliency, digital experience, and additional dimensions. Evaluation may include laboratory testing of the system or product. A rating level is assigned based on overall performance across the criteria.
Consider Alternatives If...
Organizations outside the building and construction industry, or those seeking certification for individual professional credentials rather than systems or products, should consider alternatives. Companies looking for a purely sustainability-focused or energy-only rating may find more targeted programs better suited to their needs.
