Whether you’re trying to understand the interoperability landscape or considering Mercury certification for your device, we’re here to help.
A first call is short and practical:
where you sit between devices, platforms, and utilities, and whether membership, certification, or observer engagement is the right first step.
A first conversation is short and practical: around 20 minutes on your organisation, your seat in the energy system, and what you want from Mercury. You leave with a read on fit, the membership class or engagement route that suits you, and a concrete next step. If you are weighing certification, we also cover the class your device would target, what drives the cost in your case, and a realistic timeline. If Mercury is not the right move for you yet, we will say so, and point you to Resources in the meantime.
The certification process and criteria, which performance class fits your device, and how it can support your broader commercial goals.
The process and benefits of becoming a member, different types of involvement, and differences between the observer status and full membership.
The work of our members and latest updates.
The route for regulators and industry associations. Engagement without endorsement, on the nonprofit and government fee tier.
Learn where the certification is heading.
Any organisation weighing certification, membership, or observer engagement - broadly, you ship or operate grid-connected smart-energy devices, or you set or observe the rules for them. Not sure if you fit today? That is a good reason to get in touch: a first conversation is the quickest way to find out.
Yes. Observer is a common first step: early sight of the roadmap and a way to contribute while you watch the standard mature, then a move to Full when you want the vote and a Board seat.
Yes. Regulators engage as observers: engagement without endorsement, and reciprocal, since Mercury observes your work as you observe Mercury's. Governance is cross-sectional by design, which keeps the association workable for a body that has to stay neutral.
Yes. Certification is the technical work that earns a device the Mercury Mark; membership funds the working groups and carries voting and roadmap influence. Certify if you want the Mark; join if you also want to shape the standard.
Annual fees scale with company revenue, from $10,000 Full or $5,000 Observer for organisations under $100 million to $50,000 Full or $30,000 Observer over $1 billion. The tier comparison is on the Join page. Certification is priced separately from membership.
That depends on how many device families you are certifying, which classes you target, and the evidence you already hold, so it is priced and scheduled case by case, separately from membership. A first conversation gives you the target class, the cost drivers, and a realistic timeline.
