 http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/check_list/compchk_otgeh2_0_v1.0_-_fill-in.pdf
 Use certified USB receptacle and cable for testing
 Know the TID (Test ID) of your components
 Find USB PIC® MCUs TID number on www.microchip.com/usb
 For USB Compliance certification:
 Independent Test Labs (see www.usb.org for a list)
 You need to provide them a compiled Checklist with your device

It’s a good idea to take a look at the

checklist before starting your design!
