The cost of Qi Certification consists of testing costs and certification fees.
Cost of Compliance Testing
The fee for compliance testing is not determined by the WPC. The Authorized Test Labs set their own fees. Members can choose between several Authorized Test Labs in all regions of the world.

Cost of Interoperability Testing
The IOP testbed is the collection of samples that each new product is tested against to make sure the new product is interoperable with products that have been certified before.
