About

OMP Connect

Features

Read full description

OMP Connect allows you to download the FIA certificate of your OMP customized product in digital version. The FIA certificate is mandatory for the new FIA 8856-2018 rule (necessary only for printed customized gear). Its use is very simple: hold your smartphone next to the FIA hologram and the app will automatically associate your OMP product with the original certificate. You can find a short tutorial in the app to help you to identify the position of the FIA hologramm and to get the certificate immediately. Your certificates will be archived on your smartphone/s app and will be available offline, too.
