The HCF offers several types and levels of membership. Memberships are available for manufacturers of HART based products, integrators, government organizations and educational institutions.
Manufacturers that intend to develop HART slave devices need to become members of the HCF. Only HCF Regular members have access to device type registration, device registration, testing tools, testing services, and ongoing document and specification updates.
A more limited membership is available for government organizations and educational institutions. This membership provides updates to specifications and provides educational institutions with a DD based host application and a DD Library subscription.
