The key benefits of the program are:
» Suppliers are able to substantiate claims of conformance to POSIX, based on
defined test suites.

» Buyers are able to gain assurance that products they specify and procure
meet the standard and are warranted by the vendor to do so.

POSIX certification complements certifications for other products that draw on the POSIX standard, such as those for LSB™, the COE Platform and the UNIX® system.
