Hi, 

We have received the matter certificate from CSA, and want to apply for WWGH badge, I see the message on website, which highlight that WWGH only accept the CSA ITL report for WWGH badge application, no TestSuite now.

Is it true? May we still download the Google Test Suite and upload the self-test results to apply for WWGH ?

 

B/R

Thanks for reaching out. Google is currently in the Phase 2 Dual-Path transition, allowing you to submit either a CSA ITL report or Google Home Test Suite results for the WWGH badge. While both are accepted now, the Test Suite path will be disabled during Phase 3, which is scheduled for later in 2026. Since you already have a CSA Matter certificate, submitting the ITL report is the recommended option. Once Phase 3 begins, the ITL report will become the only valid documentation for certification. Therefore, you should choose the path that best aligns with your immediate timeline before the full transition takes effect.
