View as Markdown

Partners must follow this guideline exactly. Submissions must be clear, complete, and technically defensible.

Minimum Expectations

  • All acronyms defined on first use
  • All tests include raw time-series data at required sampling rates
  • All plots include axis units, ranges, and timestamps
  • Any deviation from requirements requires a written deviation request and proposed mitigation
  • Partners must provide both:
    • Hardware test evidence (bench, HIL, factory test, or field test), and
    • Model evidence (EMT modeling + small-signal) for untestable edge cases
  • Submissions must include all information necessary and sufficient to demonstrate compliance
No Marketing Claims Accepted

If a capability is claimed, it must be demonstrated with data and/or validated models.

Confidentiality

All materials provided under this qualification process are treated as NVIDIA Confidential and subject to applicable non-disclosure agreements.

  • Partners may designate proprietary implementation details (e.g., controller source code, internal firmware) as restricted
  • Measured performance data, test results, and qualification outcomes are not considered proprietary
  • Encrypted or compiled models are acceptable, provided they are runnable and allow modification of external grid and load parameters
  • Claims of confidentiality may not be used to withhold data required to verify compliance
