B7. What does the ONC Certified HIT Certification and Design Mark represent?

The ONC Certified HIT Mark Certification and Design (Mark) is available to represent products that have been certified by an ONC-ACB under the ONC Health IT Certification Program and meet the 2014 Edition or 2015 Edition Standards and Certification Criteria. This means that a product was tested in accordance with the ONC-Approved Test Method, and certified in accordance with the standards and certification criteria adopted by the Secretary and all other requirements of the ONC Health IT Certification Program.

ONC-ACBs may grant the use of the Mark (on behalf of ONC) to developers or vendors who have certified HIT under the ONC HIT Certification Program.
