Run a certification program you own, without building the system behind it.
CriteriaOS is Triconic's online platform for running certification programs. Inspector approvals, inspection data, certificates, payments, and training are handled in one place, while each program's criteria and decisions stay with its owner. Florida Water Star, FHBA's Certified Ratings Program, and the Green Builder Coalition's WERS and WaterSense programs run on CriteriaOS today.

You decide. We run it.
Owning a program should not mean building and staffing the system behind it. CriteriaOS carries the operating work, so the owner can focus on the decisions only the owner can make.
The program owner decides
- The criteria and requirements
- The program's name and brand
- Who is approved to inspect
- Its own fee, if any
- Who acts as certifier
- The program's data, which it owns
CriteriaOS handles
- Inspector applications and approvals
- Inspection and verification data
- Certificate issuance
- Payments for applications, certificates, and registrations
- Training through the Learning Center
- Secure storage on AWS servers

From application to certificate
Every program on CriteriaOS follows the same path. The steps are the same; the requirements at each step are the owner's.
1. Apply
Inspectors and verifiers apply online to join the program, and any application fees are collected at the same time.
2. Review
Applications are reviewed against the program owner's requirements, and each approval is recorded.
3. Inspect
Approved inspectors submit inspection and verification data for each home or building.
4. Approve
Each submission is checked against the program's criteria before a certificate is issued.
5. Certify
Certificates are issued in the program's name, and every record is kept on secure AWS servers for reporting and audit.
What CriteriaOS does
Inspector Approvals
Inspectors, raters, and verifiers apply online, and each approval is tracked against the program's requirements.
Data Workflow
Inspection, verification, and validation data is submitted, reviewed, and stored in one place for each program.
Compliance Certificates
Certificates are issued in the program's name once a submission is approved, and each one stays on record.
Ecommerce
Application fees, certificate fees, and participant registration fees are collected online.
Training beside approvals
Programs can build, market, and sell their own online courses on the CriteriaOS Learning Center, so training and qualification sit beside approvals. FHBA's Certified Ratings Program trains its professionals there.
Questions about CriteriaOS
What program owners and sponsors usually ask before they start.
The organization that sponsors it. Triconic operates the program on CriteriaOS; the criteria, the brand, and the decisions stay with the owner.
That depends on the program. Each program's owner decides who acts as certifier, and CriteriaOS supports that arrangement.
From a few hours to a few days, depending on what the program requires.
The program owner owns its data. It is stored on secure Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers.
