Amazon Authorizes Spirent as Test Lab for 3rd-Party Alexa Built-in Product Certification

Amazon approved Spirent as an authorized test lab for Alexa Built-in products, said the testing company Tuesday. It will work directly with manufacturers at its Maryland facility to perform audio and acoustic tests for products seeking Amazon certification. Examples in support of Alexa Voice Service requirements are functional testing, near-field and far-field testing, wake word detection delay testing and manual subject testing. Devices that pass will receive certification test results in the form of Alexa Qualification Tool reports.
