Vision Standards
PlugFests
PlugFests are held in conjunction with International Vision Standards Meetings (IVSMs) and major global vision shows.
The PlugFest is an event held by A3 where manufacturers and developers test and validate the interoperability of their products against the framework of a specific A3 standard and each others products. This test is the final step in certifying compliance of the product to the standard. For more information about our Vision Standards, see below:
