Laboratories · free core

Register the laboratory.
Earn issuance authority.

Create the workspace and begin independent issuer review without paying. Production issuance remains locked until laboratory identity, competence evidence, approved scope, signing-key control, and conformance pass review.

Choose your door

Start with the job you need to do.

Every door opens the same free core. Organization type determines the setup path—not the credibility of its evidence.

01Create the free workspace

Use an authorized laboratory contact and the laboratory’s legal website.

02Complete five verification gates

Identity, competence evidence, scope, key control, and signing conformance are recorded separately.

03Issue only after approval

Account creation and payment never unlock production TECRIDs.
