A few practical questions
Before you join.
Is ILA only for manufacturers?
No. Manufacturers founded ILA alongside technology companies, and organisations from across the locker ecosystem are welcome to enquire. This includes operators, carriers, software providers, suppliers and integrators.
Is membership limited to Europe?
No. ILA was initiated by European companies, but its objective is international. Membership is not restricted by geography.
Does the ILA member badge certify a product?
No. The member badge identifies affiliation with ILA. It is not a product certification or endorsement. A shared approach to security testing is still in development.
How can my organisation apply?
Email the Management Board with your company name, website and a short introduction. We will provide membership details and explain the application process.
