The Khronos Consortium, which develops graphics standards, for developers of open graphics drivers is conducting certification of their implementations for compliance with the requirements of OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenCL, and Vulkan standards, without paying fees and without the need to join the consortium as a member. Applications are accepted for both hardware open drivers and fully software implementations developed under the auspices of the X.Org Foundation.
After compliance verification, the drivers will be added to the , officially compatible with the specifications being developed by Khronos. Previously, the certification of open graphics drivers was carried out at the initiative of individual companies (for example, Intel certified its Mesa driver), while independent developers were denied this opportunity. Obtaining certification allows for official claims of compatibility with graphics standards and the use of associated Khronos trademarks.
