GLI becomes first test lab accredited to test to GSA GDS Standard Certification

The accreditation allows GLI to evaluate the GDS protocol implementation for peripheral suppliers and will provide additional confidence to those suppliers’ direct customers. GLI is the first and currently the only test lab accredited to perform this testing for GSA certification.

Both GLI’s Las Vegas laboratory and Colorado laboratories are A2LA-accredited to test for GSA certification for the G2S, GAT, S2S and Transport protocols. According to its website, GSA’s certification program facilitates accurate and consistent conformance testing of gaming industry products, such as casino systems and slot machine products that implement GSA standards. 

GLI Sr. Director of Engineering Dave Daniels said: “This is an important accreditation that we take very seriously. Meeting A2LA’s strict requirements demands us to be meet the most rigorous and thorough standards of testing, and we are very pleased to be the first gaming testing lab in the world to have obtained this accreditation.”

GSA President Peter DeRaedt said, “I congratulate GLI on attaining this accreditation. We have worked with GLI closely for many years, and we are very pleased that they have reached this milestone. Our member companies rely on certification as a key part of their R&D and sales processes, and we are pleased that our members can now be tested for GDS certification through a certified test lab.”
